Daura

The Daura region spans numerous villages and settlements across northern Nigeria, featuring expansive agricultural lands and traditional community structures at 474 meters elevation.

In 1805, Fulani warrior Malam Ishaku captured the territory during the Fulani War, establishing an emirate that later became part of British colonial administration in 1904.

The Kusugu Well stands as a central monument where, according to regional narratives, Bayajidda defeated a snake named Sarki to provide water access for local inhabitants.

Agriculture forms the primary economic foundation, with residents cultivating sorghum, millet, onions, peanuts, and cotton while maintaining substantial livestock including cattle and goats.

The Kangiwa Royal Palace functions as the administrative center for traditional governance, where the emir conducts official ceremonies and maintains historical records.
