Galadima of Katsina
The Galadima of Katsina is a chieftaincy title in the emirates of Katsina State, northern Nigeria.[1]
In pre-19th century Katsina, the Galadima was part of the rukuni (senior council) of the Sarki ('ruler'). This council, alongside the Sarki, administered the entire Kingdom.[2] The office was given to the Sarki's eunuch. He was a senior administrator and supervised the territories south of the Karaduwa River, including the vassal states of Maska, Kogo, and Birnin Gwari.[3]: 99
