Description
Nigeria's rich and diverse cultural heritage our pride, a collection of newly documented historical places, monuments and events in Durbi Takusheyi Katsina state. This book is part of the efforts by National Library of Nigeria at innovating new approach in the documentation of Nigeria's cultural heritage. It contains accounts about important historical places, events and monuments; and the people connected. Though, these accounts have been inadequately recorded or under-reported but definitely not a historical reconstruction. It is an attempt to highlight unsung but fascinating accounts of historical places such as Durbi Takusheyi, Katsina state. Photographs copiously displayed in the book are to aid readers' emotional connection or reconnection to the stories.
