      Zamfara was the first state in Nigeria to introduce Sharia law during the tenure of Ahmad Sani Yerima, the former Governor of the state. Zamfara State holds some number of tourist attractions which are of historical or religious importance.
      Zamfara is located on the southern border of the Sahel, a semi-arid biogeographic zone that separates the Sahara Desert from the subtropical regions of Africa ( Figures 1 and 2 ). The Sahel encompasses significant portions of Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan, and Eritrea and touches smaller portions of other nations, including Nigeria.
      Zamfara exemplifies a region grappling with managing the challenges of conflict ( Figure 8 ), climate change, and resource extraction against a regional backdrop of extreme poverty, a rapidly increasing population, health crises, and environmental degradation.
      The people of Zamfara have over the years struggled for autonomy, but it was not until 1996 that the then military administration of the late General Sani Abacha detached the Zamfara State from Sokoto State with an area of 38,418 square kilometres. The first Governor was Jibril Yakubu.
