Kabiru S. ★★★★★ : It was education and informative history and the first one history
Chiedozie K. ★★★★★ : The Museum, like most Museums and history subjects in Nigeria, is neglected. But I enjoyed the history lessons I got from the Museum. The history of Northern Nigeria is really rich. I saw weapons, manuscripts, items that are as old as 700 years. If you ever go to Sokoto State, please, whether you are a Christian or Muslim, whatever tribe, I really encourage you to visit this museum.
