Hi @Towbee05! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the countries-states-cities-database team.

Ilawe-Ekiti is not currently included in the database, even though other Ekiti State cities like Ado-Ekiti, Aramoko-Ekiti, Emure-Ekiti, and Ikere-Ekiti are present NG.json. This is a genuine omission.

If you want to help add Ilawe-Ekiti, the project accepts contributions via JSON files in the contributions/cities/ directory. You'd add the city to NG.json with the correct state and country IDs (found in contributions/states/states.json and contributions/countries/countries.json). The process is documented in detail in the contributions/README.md, and IDs are auto-assigned by the system when your pull request is merged. No local build is needed—just submit the JSON change and the maintainers handle the rest.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Thank you, I would love to contribute by adding it as a city

That's awesome! Here’s how you can add Ilawe-Ekiti:

1. Edit contributions/cities/NG.json and add Ilawe-Ekiti in alphabetical order. You’ll need the city name, state_id and state_code for Ekiti (from contributions/states/states.json), country_code ("NG"), and coordinates (latitude/longitude). Use reliable sources like Wikipedia or ISO codes for accuracy.
2. Validate your JSON with jq or Python (e.g., python3 -m json.tool contributions/cities/NG.json) and double-check that the state_id and state_code match Ekiti State.
3. Create a single markdown summary in .github/fixes-docs/ (e.g., FIX_<issue_number>_SUMMARY.md) describing the issue, your changes, validation steps, and sources you used.
4. Don’t assign city IDs or commit any generated export files—just update the source JSON and docs. The system handles IDs and exports when your PR is merged.

You can see recent examples and best practices in merged PRs like #1156 and #1154. If you have any questions or need help with the process, just ask!
