City wall Is a historical building,longtime ago over 200years ago the wall was built by zazzau Emirates council of old history,the wall protect the town of Zaria municipal against introders or any attacks from enemies,that is the main reasons for naming zazzau gates with some heros name,such as kofar Gayan,kofar Kona,kofar kuyambana,kofar galadima,kofar kibo,kofar doka and so on

Its probably in ruins now what was an elevated defence wall of a flourishing dynasty in thousand years ago. As a small boy had the previledge of walking up the city walls at kofar wambai, kofar kuyambana, kofan doka and little known kofar kuka.. Also the wall towards the exit at banzazzau. It was awsome experience of a childhood without cameras😎.

The wall is historic in nature due to the various wars fought by the kingdom of Zaria Emirates. The wall served as a protective barrier between the city and it's enemies during the war time. It serves as a means of check up for the visitors coming in and out of the kingdom. The wall is fast disappearing due to human activities around it, and those who are supposed to be the custodian of culture are not doing their best in protecting to preserve it.

Zaria is an old city with history and educational institutions.

Zara city wall was build over 500 years by Queen Amina. The essence of the wall was to protect the city from external warrior, not similar to Mr Trump

Population growth and development gradually led to encroachment on the walls. City walls were built to mark city limits and protect its citizens from invaders. The walls are said to have been built between 13th and 14th century and circumnavigate Zaria city roughly 16kilomteres. Zaria city wall remains one of the most impressive monuments in Northern Nigeria, and shows the great ancient architectural skills of the people.

The Zazzau Emirates remain one of the most beautiful palaces amongst others & I will surely visit again during a renowned festival
