dc.description.abstractHausa people are one of earliest inhabitants of Ilorin and they had been residing in their quarters, in the area known as Gambari before the establishment of emirate system of administration in Ilorin in 1823. They had settled there since around the beginning of 19th century. Apart from the Hausas, other ethnic groups from the northern part of the country like Kanuri, Nupe and Baruba were an integral part of the community. With time, Yoruba language became their mother tongue and their descendants still live in Gambari area today as indigenes of the town. Another wave of Hausa migrants came to Ilorin and settled in such places as Ojagboro, Pake and Okesuna, all in Gambari area around the turn of 20th century. Among them were traders, artisans and Mallamai (Muslim Clerics). In the late 1950s, they had to move their settlements to Kulende when Zango (cattle market) was moved there. The circumstances surrounding their movement to the new location, their economic activities in the town as well as the nature of their interaction among themselves and with the host community are the focus of this study. Both primary and secondary sources are employed in this research work.en_US
