Babura Towns And Villages
Babura is a Local Government Area in northern Jigawa State, Nigeria. It borders Baure (Katsina State) to the north, Kazaure to the west, Sule Tankarkar to the east, and Danbatta (Kano State) to the south. Its headquarters is Babura town.
The 2006 census counted 212,955 residents. Projections put the 2022 figure near 366,200. The area covers about 992 square kilometres. Babura holds eleven wards: Babura, Batali, Dorawa, Garu, Gasakoli, Insharuwa, Jigawa, Kanya, Kuzunzumi, Kyambo and Takwasa.
Hausa and Fulani communities farm millet, sorghum and groundnuts across the LGA. Several settlements share common Hausa toponym stems (Kurta, Unguwar, Danmakeri-type names) that repeat within Babura and across neighbouring Jigawa LGAs — this is normal naming convention, not duplication.
