List of current state governors in Nigeria

Nigeria has 36 states that each elect a governor to serve as chief executive of the state government. The sole federal district, the Federal Capital Territory, is headed by a minister appointed by the president to oversee the administration. In the event of a vacancy, the governor is succeeded by the second-highest-ranking state official; the deputy governor.

As of 6 June 2025, there are 23 states with APC governors, 10 states with PDP governors, 1 state each with APGA, Labour and NNPP governors.

The current gubernatorial term ends and new term begins in May for most states, two to three months after their election. Governors are elected for a term of four years (maximum of two terms).

All 36 governors are members of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, a non-partisan organization which represents states in discussions with the federal government. Other organizations for governors include the partisan Progressive Governors Forum and PDP Governors Forum.
