Guri Towns And Villages
Guri is a Local Government Area in Jigawa State, Nigeria, in the Hadejia river wetlands. Its headquarters sits at Guri town. The 2006 census counted 113,363 residents; a 2022 projection put the figure near 194,900.
Guri holds ten wards: Abunabo, Adiyani, Dawa, Garbagal, Guri, Kadira, Lafiya, Margadu, Matara Baba and Musari. Hausa is the main language, with Fulani herders keeping seasonal camps across the wetland fringe. Guri borders Yobe State to the east, where LGA boundaries run through similarly sparsely-mapped wetland terrain.
