9 Zazzau Emirate like any other Emirate has alot of titles, some are originated from Habe period of leadership (before the Jihad of Sheikh Usman Danfodio) and some are initiated after the Jihad, however like it is in other Emirate some of the titles in Zazzau emirate are borrowed from other Emirates just to ﬁll the gap and some vacancies.

If you go further in the magazine you will see some titles and their functions, relevance, purpose and roles during habe and now during Fulani leadership, just for highlights.

The list below highlights some of the typical nature of the Titles in Zazzau Emirate.

PLEASE NOTE: The list below is not meant to showcase any hierarchy, it is also not meant to portray any other thing rather than highlighting the Zazzau Emirate title holders as the Emir Celebrates his 44 years anniversary. There are other titles that do not appear in the list because at the time of compiling, some names were not available to us.

Thank you as you go through.

On behalf of Council, Senate, Management and the entire staﬀ and students of the University of Abuja, I felicitate with Your Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr) Shehu Idris, CFR, The Emir of Zazzau and Chancellor, University of Abuja, on the occasion of your marking

as the Emir of Zazzau Emirate

The University Community joins the many Nigerians who rejoice with you on this occasion and prays to God for good health and strength so that you can continue to render selﬂess service to your people and humanity in general.

Nigerians are appreciative of the fatherly role Your Royal Highness plays towards fostering understanding, tolerance and co-existence which accounts for the peace and prosperity that has prevailed in your domain for decades. All hands must be on deck to move Nigeria forward.

The story of Nigeria can be likened to the story of twelve professors of engineering who boarded a plane. Upon boarding the plane, they asked about the maker of the plane. They were informed that the plane was built by their students. Eleven of the professors quickly disembarked for fear that if their students built the plane, then it would certainly crash. The twelfth professor sat unperturbed. When asked why he did not follow the other professors, he simply retorted that if their students built the plane it was certainly not going to take oﬀ, let alone crash. Your antecedents and record of service to Nigeria, the country we all cherish, are testimonies to your abiding belief in a Nigeria that will ﬂy and never crash.

We, at the University of Abuja, will continue to pray to God for his blessings and bounties on you and your family. May God grant you many more years in the service of the people. Amen.
