Bauchi (city)

Yakubu conquered a sparsely wooded savanna region (the Bauchi High Plains) mainly inhabited by non-Muslim peoples.The name was derived from that of a hunter called Baushe, who advised Yaqub to build his city west of the Warinje mountain.Abubakar Tafawa Balewa is buried in the city, while the Yankari National Park is 110 km from the state capital.[6] With the coming of the railway in 1961, Bauchi grew as a collecting point for peanuts (groundnuts) and cotton and a trade centre in sorghum, millet, cowpeas, corn (maize), cassava, and vegetables and in cattle, goats, and sheep.Scheduled airline service was then transferred to the newly constructed Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport, 23 kilometres (14 miles) north of Bauchi, near the village of Durum.
