Ali Akilyu Road, Sokoto
Waziri Junaidu History and Culture Museum was established in 1973.
Any visit to Sokoto would be incomplete without spending a few hours at the Waziri Junaidu History and Culture Museum, a combined library, museum and archive.
This is a very safe location.
Established with the purpose of collecting, preserving and displaying all relics, artifacts, archives and manuscripts relating to the history of Sokoto people and its government, this six department museum of international standards house more than 500,000 volumes of assorted materials and other historical treasures.
An extensive tour of the museum is very enlightening. The manuscripts of the Jihad leaders are there, so are some of the flags given to many of the ancestors who made Islam so relevant in today’s Nigeria, West Africa and beyond. The museum, with the support of the Sultanate Council, has compiled many publications, and more are forthcoming.
