A History of Biu, 2015 Sun Non-Fiction Book of the Year, is Bukar Usman’s magnum opus on the city and emirate of Biu, an important melting pot in north-eastern Nigeria. Biu Emirate is noted for its ethnic and religious tolerance, a great quality in the strife-stricken, Boko Haram-troubled, north-eastern axis of Nigeria.

A History of Biu, the third in Dr Bukar Usman’s “Biu Emirate Studies Series,” is a 693-page book of historical narratives so well written and so maturely analytic every reader would pleasantly be carried away by the authenticity of its communal odysseys and the universal candour of its unique socio-cultural realities. Hailed as a notable contribution to Nigerian and African historiography,  A History of Biu “paints a balanced picture of the multi-cultural Biu Emirate society and, through its portrayal of critical social phenomena, unveils the core values knitting together this tolerant centuries-old civilization.” Scores of colourful pictures complement this comprehensive document of immense value.
