He attended CBM Primary School, Yimirshika and Provisional Secondary School, Maiduguri before joining Nigerian Defence Academy in 1968.[1]
On 13 January 1996, he installed Nuhu Sanusi as first class Emir of Dutse.[6]
Following the return to democracy, as a former military administrator he was required to retire from the army.[7]
Death and legacy
Aliyu died on 16 July 2021 at his residence in Kaduna after a protracted illness.[8] Jigawa State Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar described his death as a great loss to the people and government of Jigawa State, stating that Aliyu had sacrificed his life in service to humanity.[9]
In early July 2021, shortly before his death, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo visited Jigawa State and commissioned a road named in Aliyu's honour, in recognition of his contributions to the state.[10]
