Suleja Towns And Villages

Suleja is a Local Government Area in Niger State, Nigeria, on the state’s eastern edge where it borders the Federal Capital Territory. The 2006 census counted 215,075 residents; projections put the 2022 figure near 368,900. Suleja town, the LGA headquarters, was the seat of the pre-1976 Abuja Emirate before the federal capital took the Abuja name.

Suleja LGA holds ten registration wards: Bagmama A, Bagama B, Hashimi A, Hashimi B, Iku South I, Iku South II, Kurmin Sarki, Magajiya, Maje North and Wambai. Madalla, on the Abuja road, is the LGA’s second major urban centre after Suleja town.
