The first church building in Northern Nigeria is the St. Bartholomew Anglican Church in Wusasa, Zaria, present-day Kaduna State. It was built in 1929 with local building materials and in the traditional Hausa architecture, which is still standing in good shape. Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon attended the church as a child. In fact, his father was a catechist in the church and was part of its growth. #History#
