In cities, towns and villages of Kano, Zaria and Gumel, Northern Nigeria, there has been arrangement of Hausa building culture and social structure that is hierarchical ranging from a base level, which includes masterbuilders and labourers that construct mud houses, blacksmiths and local artisans to royalty at the top. The Book explains the traditional masterbuilders' professional skills and intelligence in using local building materials such as muds, azaras(heavy rigid timbers), tubali(sun dried bricks) bulo(adobe bricks) and thatches in designing royal palaces, city walls and gates of Northern Nigeria.
