Kala/Balge Towns And Villages
Kala/Balge is a Local Government Area in Borno State, Nigeria, and the country’s easternmost LGA, on the border with Cameroon. Its headquarters is the town of Rann, roughly 200 kilometres east of Maiduguri. The area covers about 1,896 square kilometres.
The 2006 census counted 60,834 residents. The 2022 projection puts the figure near 89,100. The postal code is 611.
Kala/Balge is one of sixteen LGAs in the Dikwa Emirate, established in 1902. Hausa, Kanuri and Fulani communities farm and trade across its ten wards: Moholo, Jilbe A, Jilbe B/Koma Kaudi, Jarawa/Sangaya, Kala, Kumaga, Rann A, Rann B/Daima, Mada and Sigal/Karche. Boko Haram fighters attacked Rann in 2014 and 2016; the town has since recovered and hosts a large displaced population.
