Marte Towns And Villages
Marte is a Local Government Area in Borno State, Nigeria, on Lake Chad’s western shore near the Cameroon border. Its headquarters sit at Marte town, seat of the traditional mai under the Borno Emirate.
The 2006 census counted 129,409 residents across 3,154 square kilometres. A 2022 projection put the figure near 189,600.
Since May 2025, ISWAP insurgents have held most of the LGA after overrunning Marte town; residents fled to Dikwa and only one of the area’s 300-plus settlements has stayed under government control. Nigeria’s electoral commission still lists Marte among the LGAs it cannot reach for voter registration.
The list below was checked name by name against 2015 INEC ward and polling-unit records, the GeoNames and OpenStreetMap gazetteers, and the GRID3 settlement dataset.
