Due to most of our lovely fans has requested for the Nigeria geopolitical zones and their states for so long and not only that but also will be very useful for the student that really know what it takes to know their geopolitical zones in Nigeria and their states.

The 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria and Their States have not been entirely carved out based on geopolitical location, but rather states with similar cultures, ethnic groups, and common history were classified in the same zone. Nigeria is made up of approximately 400 ethnic groups and 450 languages. There was a need for the government to merge similar groups for effective allocation of resources.
