Tudun Wada
The concept of a Tudun Wada section of cities and towns in Northern Nigeria, South Central Niger and Northern Cameroon is a common one, as a neighborhood inhabited by people from other parts of Hausaland.[1] This is similar to towns and cities having a section named Sabon Gari.
It may also refer to one of several towns/villages or local government areas in Nigeria:
- Tudun Wada (Kano state)
- Tudun Wada (Kaduna State)
- A district south of Zaria
- A suburb south of Lafia

This, according to the historians, is obtainable in all ancient Hausa cities in the North, where emirs allocated places outside the main city for settlers, who were largely Muslims from the North, and named it Tudun Wada.
