I mean this is Wikipedia so take what it says with caution (you can see entry also flagged) but if this is true, then it means that this Local Government in Bauchi State is bigger in land mass than several Nigerian States, including Lagos, Ekiti and each of the 5 SE States. 
I’ve just found this list of LGAs in Nigeria by land mass. No official source listed for the info, so keep that in mind.
But really interesting in that it lists several Nigerian LGAs bigger than some States eg Abadam LGA in Borno, bigger than Lagos State statoids.com/yng.html

Always said one of the problems in Nigeria is a lack of real knowledge about places that are removed from our everyday realities. Most people in the South for example have no idea of just how vast the terrains up North are. The idea of a single LGA bigger than an entire State 😮
Keep this background in mind next time you’re thinking about the security challenges in the NE and NW. It’s also the biggest argument for a massive investment in air power - you can’t police these vast areas without an eye from the sky.
