The new Speaker of the House is from the Zaria district in the state of Kaduna, which is in the northwest zone of Nigeria. He is a member of the APC party, which is currently in power.

After getting 353 votes, Tajudeen Abbas was sworn in as the new speaker of Nigeria's 10th House of Representatives.

And the ruling party APC told its members in parliament on Tuesday to vote for him as the 10th Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Tajudeen Abbas was born in the Kwarbai area of Zaria, in the state of Kaduna, on October 1, 1963. He is a member of the royal family in the Kingdom of Zazzau and is now on the throne of Iyan Zazzau.


He went to Kaduna Teachers College (KTC) to get his education. In 1981, he got his Teachers Grade II Certificate.


Later, he went to Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, where he studied business administration and got his first and second degrees.


He also got his third degree in this field, but at Usman Danfodiyo University in Sokoto.


He first taught in elementary school, but later he taught in a college for science and technology.


After that, he worked as a business manager for the Nigerian Tobacco Distribution Company.

In 2010, the new Speaker ran for office, and in 2011, he was elected to the Nigerian House of Representatives.

Before the council's new leader was chosen earlier this week, Tajuddeen was in charge of the group for land transportation.
