Nagero County came into existence as the result of the fulfillment of the vision of our arch hero Dr. John Garang De Mabior of taking town to the people which embraces Decentralized system of Government and is clearly stipulated in the local government act 2009.

The District of Tambura was divided to realize this vision that is why Ezo and Nagero were crowned as counties to enable easy service delivery to the people; initially, Nagero and Ezo were all Payams under Tambura administration.

These communities depend on subsistence farming for their livelihood as they supplement this by lulu and honey harvest and fishing for domestic consumption.

Nagero County like the rest of other counties in South Sudan has suffered the devastating effects of the two decades of civil war that claimed many lives of people and sent many more others to the refuge and internally displaced camps.

There are sheer inadequate health services, and illiteracy levels are alarming with high rates of school dropouts.
