In 2021, the law that established Kaduna Capital Territory Authority was passed.[1] Kaduna Capital Territory Authority was formerly called Kaduna Local Government Authority[5] after Kaduna city was made the capital of the state in 1937. The local government authority was a creation of the British colonial rule to oversee taxation, the production of food crops and export to Britain.[6] The authority was first headed by District Head, Aminu Sambo in 1937.[7][8] The current administrator of Kaduna Capital Territory Authority is Samuel Aruwan.[9]
