The high proportion of non-specified occupations, i.e., non-craft or other than those above (more than 75%) reflects the non- traditional orientation of the area. Wakilin Gabas shares with Wakilin Kudu administration of the Sabon Layi area, in which the majority of non- indigenes in the city have resided. *** Includes Marina. The area of Wakilin Arewa covers parts of both Haben Bimi and Fada, including some wards near the Friday market.
