Birnin Kudu lies in the south of Jigawa State and it is noted for the presence of large number of rocks and their fascinating ancient paintings which are of the oldest rock paintings in Nigeria.
It's an old, historic town renowned for its rocks and drawings found in some of them dating back to the early centuries in Northern Nigeria and establishment of Native Authority, NA. The town was an NA headquarters during the British rule and has been the headquarters of Birnin Kudu Local Council.
The Local Government area shares border with Buji and Gwaram Local Governments on the eastern part while at the southern part shares a common border with Ningi Local Government of Bauchi State. At the western part, it bordered by Two Kano State Local Governments namely Takai and Sumaila Local Governments and at the northern part, it shares borders with Kiyawa and Dutse Local Government areas
These drawings are said to be among the oldest drawings in Nigeria. The first group of paintings on the hill known as Dutsen Mesa is only about a hundred feet from the old motor road and even closer to the pedestrian path.
This is an historical site you should try to visit someday with your family.....
