The agitation for the creation of the state was led by Malam Inuwa-Dutse, a former commissioner in the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources during the governorship of late <a href="/wiki/Audu_Bako" title="Audu Bako">Audu Bako</a>, the governor of old Kano State (comprising present Kano and Jigawa states). By the 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, the state comprises 27 local government councils, which are divided into 30 state constituencies, grouped into 11 federal constituencies and 3 senatorial districts. These 27 local government councils were further subdivided into 77 development areas by law No. 5 of 2004 of the State House of Assembly. In line with the democratic setting in the country, the governments at both the state and local government levels are elected, and comprise an executive with a unicameral legislature. The state legislature has 30 elected members each representing one of the state constituencies. To complete the state governance structure, there is an independent state judiciary as the third arm of government. </p><p>The State Government administrative apparatus is organized into ministries, extra-ministerial departments and parastatals, which are located across the three senatorial districts in the state since 1999. This decentralized approach to governmental administrative structure was seen as a move towards stimulating economic activities socio-economic development and empowerment over a wider area since government is the largest employer, perhaps second only to agriculture. In addition, this was also seen as a way for spreading even development among major urban centers and a shift from "city-state syndrome" that obtained in the old Kano State. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Local_Government_Areas">Local Government Areas</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jigawa_State&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Local Government Areas"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_villages_in_Jigawa_State" title="List of villages in Jigawa State">List of villages in Jigawa State</a></div> <p>Jigawa State consists of twenty-seven (27) <a href="/wiki/Local_government_areas_of_Nigeria" title="Local government areas of Nigeria">Local Government Areas</a>, They are: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 10em;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Auyo" title="Auyo">Auyo</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Babura" title="Babura">Babura</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Biriniwa" class="mw-redirect" title="Biriniwa">Biriniwa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Birnin_Kudu" title="Birnin Kudu">Birnin Kudu</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Buji,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Buji, Nigeria">Buji</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dutse" title="Dutse">Dutse</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gagarawa" title="Gagarawa">Gagarawa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Garki,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Garki, Nigeria">Garki</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gumel" title="Gumel">Gumel</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Guri,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Guri, Nigeria">Guri</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gwaram" title="Gwaram">Gwaram</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gwiwa" title="Gwiwa">Gwiwa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hadejia" title="Hadejia">Hadejia</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jahun" title="Jahun">Jahun</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kafin_Hausa" title="Kafin Hausa">Kafin Hausa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kaugama" title="Kaugama">Kaugama</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kazaure" title="Kazaure">Kazaure</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kiri_Kasama" title="Kiri Kasama">Kiri Kasama</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kiyawa" title="Kiyawa">Kiyawa</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maigatari" title="Maigatari">Maigatari</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Malam_Madori" title="Malam Madori">Malam Madori</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Miga,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Miga, Nigeria">Miga</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ringim" title="Ringim">Ringim</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Roni,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Roni, Nigeria">Roni</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sule_Tankarkar" title="Sule Tankarkar">Sule Tankarkar</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Taura,_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Taura, Nigeria">Taura</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Yankwashi" title="Yankwashi">Yankwashi</a></li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Economy">Economy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jigawa_State&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Economy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Date_Market.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Date_Market.jpg/220px-Date_Market.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="218" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Date_Market.jpg/330px-Date_Market.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Date_Market.jpg/440px-Date_Market.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2196" data-file-height="2176" /></a><figcaption>Date market </figcaption></figure> <p>The economy of Jigawa State is largely characterized by informal sector activities with agriculture as the major economic activity. Over 80% of the population is engaged in subsistence farming and animal husbandry. Trade and commerce are undertaken on small and medium scale, especially in agric goods, livestock and other consumer goods. Other informal sector activities include blacksmithing, leather-works, tailoring services, auto repairs, metal works, carpentry, tanning, dyeing, food processing, masonry etc. Even though modern industrial sector is yet to gain a solid footing, the seed for their development was planted through establishment of small-scale industries particularly in areas of food processing and other agro-allied activities such as the <a href="/wiki/Jigawa_ethanol_programme" title="Jigawa ethanol programme">Jigawa ethanol programme</a>.
