Nigeria states and capitals worksheet: 37 numbers, answers on page 2

A JSS1 Social Studies teacher in Lagos sets a test on the states and capitals. On A4 page 1 is the map upright with 36 states and the FCT numbered and a dot at each capital (Abuja ringed), Name and Date lines, and a list of 37 lines in two columns, each with a State and a Capital to write. Page 2 is the answer key.

  1. The numbers run north to south in bands, west to east within each: 1 Sokoto in the north-west to 37 Akwa Ibom in the south-east (on A4 and US Letter; A3 numbers the far north slightly differently).
  2. The FCT is number 14, with Abuja as its capital; the answer map names every state and capital.

A two-page PDF with 37 numbers. 7 capitals share their state’s name (Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi, Gombe, Enugu); the slips to watch are Lagos (Ikeja), Oyo (Ibadan), Rivers (Port Harcourt), Edo (Benin City) and Delta (Asaba).

How it works

  1. The 36 states and the FCT are numbered on the map and each capital is a dot.
  2. Pupils write the name and the capital on the line with the same number.
  3. Press Make PDF: the worksheet comes first, the answer key after it.

Frequently asked questions

How are they numbered?
From north to south in bands, west to east within each, so the list is easy to follow.
Is the answer key included?

Is there a version with the names printed?
Yes — the map with the capitals, on its own page, names every one.
Is the FCT on the worksheet?
Yes: with the 36 states it makes 37 numbers. On A4 and US Letter the FCT is number 14 and its capital, Abuja, is the ringed dot.

No. The PDF is made in your browser.
