There are two secondary schools at Duguri and Manamaji, and over 20 primary schools are scattered throughout the area. Duguri are primarily agriculturists with millet, rice, and guinea corn being the staple crops. Each woman is free to use her produce as she sees fit. She will keep some for personal use, and a portion of the crop might be sold or traded in the local markets. The Duguri live in villages protected by walls or hedges.
Huts are round, with conical thatched roofs and mud walls.
Each village has a headman, who handles some village affairs. The head over all the Duguri, however, is the Raghan Duari and his council of elders. Other offices, which are more traditional and religious than political, are the offices of the Bang'ikan , and Raghan Warr . Men in both these offices are spiritual leaders and are sought to impart spiritual blessings or to settle arguments. The people give more allegiance to these men than to the Raghan Duari.
