The Michika local government was created in 1976. It is located in the northern axis of the state and is bordered on the east by the Republic of Cameroon. On its Northern border is the Madagali local government, while it shares border to the west by the Askira/Uba local government area of Borno State. Southward, it is bordered by the Mubi north and Hong local government areas. The word 'Michika' is the corrupted form of the Kamwe phrase for "Mwe-ci-ka" which is the Kamwe word for "creeping in silently". Oral history has it that Michika (Mwecika) was founded around the late 17th century by Kwada Kwakaa who was a Prince and a hunter hunting on the Michika hills. "Mwe" in the Kamwe language means heaven, sky, hills, or even mountains used by relatives of a bereaved person on their waist and wrist to signify bereavement. Michika is made of eight districts. Ngida Zakawa Kwache is the District Head of Michika. He was selected by the 'king makers' on Saturday, 31 December 2013, following the death of Coffor Maude who acted as the district head for 50 years.[3] The Michika local government is the most populated in Adamawa State. Michika is also a cosmopolitan town: it has branches of many banks, a college of health and technology, a technical college and many secondary schools. The oldest and most popular secondary school in Michika is the Government Senior Secondary School (G.S.S.) Michika. The inhabitants are mostly Christians, while the remaining are Muslims and some traditional religion worshipers . There are about 26 chiefdoms and 84 villages around the mountainous ranges. There are many cultural festivals performed by the Kamwe people in Michika. Foremost amongst them are the Yawale, Wasinata, Ngarba, and the Zhitta dance among other festivals. There are also tourists sites and scenery in Michika such as the Kwandree cold spring water at Dlaka and the Kamale peak at Kamale. In 2017, Kamwe elders re-launched their annual cultural festival which is usually staged in April every year just before the start of the rainy season to showcase their rich culture. Michika has produced prominent individuals such as Late Reverend (Dr) John Guli, Damude T. Kwache, Boni Haruna, Mohammed Buba Marwa, Reverend (Dr) Samuel D. Dali, among others. The population of Michika is large; estimates have varied from around 375,000 and 700, 000 depending on the census used and its methodology.[4] The town was seized by the Boko Haram Islamic terrorists in September 2014 but the town was re-captured by the Nigerian military on 29 January 2015.[5] Former President Goodluck Jonathan announced re-capture of Michika Town from Boko Haram Islamic terrorists on Thursday 29 January 2015; he made the announcement while on a campaign tour of Adamawa State.[6][7] Major languagesKamwe (Higi), Marghi and HausaReferences1. ^Usman Kundili Bukar, Daily Trust Sunday 7 July 2013 {{LGAs and communities of Adamawa State}}2. ^{{cite book |last=Kwache |first=Iliya Yame |year=2016 |title=Kamwe People of Northern Nigeria: Origin, History and Culture |edition=1st |publisher=Prudent Publishers |location=Kaduna, Nigeria}} 3. ^Leadership Newspaper 2 January 2014 4. ^{{Cite web| last = Kwache| first = Iliya Yame| title = Population Census In Nigeria , The Case Of Michika Adamawa State| work = NgEX!
