INTRODUCTION
The traditional title of Magajingari is used only in some parts of Hausa lands such as Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, and the Zamfara States.
However, in other parts of Hausa land, the functions of the MagajinGari were performed by the Galadima, it was Sultan Muhammad Bello, who in the early 1820s first created the office of the MagajinGari in Sokoto.
The office was introduced among others to assist in the supervision and the administration, as well as to ensure the maintenance of law and order in the metropolis.
MagajinGari is among the most important advisers of the Sultan in matters that include administration and finance.
Funtua was the Headquarter of the Maska district which was headed by the SarkinMaska. Maska town is a few kilometres away from Funtua, from there, the colonial rulers transferred the traditional title to Funtua.
In 1915, the MagajinGari title was introduced in Funtua.
The MagajinGariassists the District head (SarkinMaska) in matters relating to the economic, political, social, and religious affairs of the district.
With the coming of British colonial masters, the roles of traditional institutions declined, but the office of the MagajinGari continued to play a crucial role in the administrative setup in the Funtua district.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The office of MagajinGarinFuntua has been an important institution in the district of Funtua local government with a rich history.
A number of scholars like NasiruNasiha, who wrote “The History of SarakunanMaska”, Ibrahim Haruna, and DahiruCommassie, have written on the history of Funtua but little has been written on the palace of MagajinGarinFuntua.
