What to Know About Borno

Key Facts

Borno is a state located in northeastern Nigeria, positioned as one of the six states that constitute Nigeria's North-East geopolitical zone. It shares international borders with Niger to the north, Chad to the northeast, and Cameroon to the east, making it a strategically important cross-border region. Covering approximately 70,898 square kilometers, Borno is one of Nigeria's largest states by land area and has an estimated population of around 5.8 million people according to recent projections. The state is administratively divided into 27 local government areas, with Maiduguri serving as both the capital city and major urban center. Borno's geography transitions from the semi-arid Sahel savannah in the north to more fertile lands in the south, with the Lake Chad basin forming part of its northeastern boundary. Historically significant as the heartland of the Kanem-Bornu Empire, the region maintains strong cultural ties to this imperial legacy.
