Abstract
This work centres mainly on scholarly activities
and private library of the Waziri Gidado. It is also the
aim of this thesis to determine the contributions of this
scholarly community in Kano towards the development of
literacy and librarianship in Kano in particular and Hausaland
in general. There are many existing private collections
hidden in Nigeria and works done by many eminent scholars
and are yet to be discussed or subject to research.
In order to obtain relevant data on the above major
operations, interviews were conducted among the three prominent
sons of the late Waziri Gidado. The history of the family
and full description of their scholarly life were fullydiscussed.
Their family collection were also discussed
Finally, this is followed by a discussion of possible
usefulness of the study to some eminent scholars and
research centres in the country.
