Anguwan Liman

Anguwan Liman is one of the wards in the city of Zaria, Kaduna state, Nigeria. The ward is located northwards of the Emir of Zazzau's Zaria palace and the ancient central mosque in Zaria, built during the reign of Muhammad Kwasau by the famous Hausa builder Muhammad Gwani. The ward is said to get its name because in the past it was home to religious scholars and Imams of the central mosque in Zaria city.

The inhabitants of Auguwan liman like other wards in Zaria city are Hausa speakers who trace their origin to the Barebari (Kanuri) ruling class of Zazzau. Traditional title holders like the late Fagacin Zazzau Adamu, late Sa'in Zazzau and late Chiroman Zazzau are said to come from babban gida (gidan pampo) in Anguwan liman which still serves as the main house where all traditional ceremonies like weddings and naming ceremonies take place. Recent traditional title holders Dallatun Zazzau Muhammadu and Sarkin Shannun Zazzau Alhaji Bello Umar were from Anguwan Liman.
