Kafin Madaki

Kafin Madaki is the headquarters of Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Nigeria. It is a small town of about 20,000 people some 45 km north of Bauchi. The economy is based primarily on farming, with cottage industries in weaving, iron-working, soap-making and brick-making. Water supply is based on boreholes. In March 2008 the Bauchi state government started reconstruction of the General Hospital at Kafin Madaki, which had fallen into disrepair. The state Commissioner of Health inspected the construction of the new hospital in May 2010, and announced plans to hire additional medical personnel.
