Local government areas of Nigeria



Nigeria has 774 local government areas (LGAs), each administered by a local government council consisting of a chairman, who is the chief executive, and other elected members, who are referred to as councillors. Each LGA is further subdivided into a minimum of ten and a maximum of twenty wards. A ward is administered by a councillor, who reports directly to the LGA chairman. The councillors fall under the legislative arm of the Local Government, the third tier of government in Nigeria, below the state governments and the federal government.

Functions
The functions of local governments are detailed in the Nigerian constitution and include the following:
 * Economic recommendations to the State.
 * Collection of taxes and fees.
 * Establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm.
 * Licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheelbarrows and carts.
 * Establishment, maintenance and regulation of markets, motor parks and public conveniences.
 * Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, drainages and other public highways, parks, and open spaces.
 * Naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses within their local government areas.
 * Provision and maintenance of public transportation and refuse disposal systems.
 * Registration of births, deaths and marriages in their locality.
 * Assessment of privately owned houses or tenements for the purpose of levying such rates as may be prescribed by the House of Assembly of a State.
