Details

gpz A geo-political zone, in the Nigerian context, is a national subdivision that groups contiguous states. Historically, they arise from subnational administrative divisions known as 'regions' that existed at the time of the country's independence. There are 6 zones - North-Central, North-East, North-West, South-East, South-South and South-West.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
states()  # lists names of all States
states(gpz = "se")  # lists States in South-East zone
# }
