All 21 Local Government Areas

Anambra State is administratively divided into twenty-one (21) local Government Arears (LGAs). These LGAs serve as the primary units of grassroots governance and are responsible for the delivery of essential public services, community development, and local administration across the state. Each Local Government Area operates through its council and administrative structures in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Anambra State.

Anambra LGAs Grouped by Senatorial District

For effective political representation and administrative coordination, the twenty-one (21) Local Government Areas in Anambra State are grouped into three (3) Senatorial Districts, namely Anambra North, Anambra Central, and Anambra South. This classification ensures equitable representation in the National Assembly and facilitates balanced development across the state.

Cultural Heritage and Social Development

Anambra State’s Local Government Areas preserve rich cultural traditions, festivals and social values that define the identity of their communities. Through local initiatives in education, healthcare and social welfare, the LGAs play a vital role in improving the quality of life while safeguarding the cultural heritage of the people.
