BIOGRAPHY OF ALHAJI SHUAIBUGARA IBRAHIM BABALLE

He was involved in the running of his father's business, the purchase and transportation of

herds of cattle to different places in Nigeria.

 Upon the death of Baballe, he started driving the lorry of his elder brother, Alhaji Yakubu Gombe, the first businessman in Gombe to own a lorry

as well as serve as a licensed buying agent of GBO and later UAC. Shuaibu Gara was one of the most prominent drivers in Gombe at the time.

 He was among the few selected to undergo training and obtain a driving license under European instructors at Lokoja. He was so adept at driving trailers and lorries that he was affectionately called Gara (a Hausa short form of Gangarami bicycle wheel-rim). 

Shuaibu Gara was said to be skilled at playing and running with a bicycle wheel-rim at a tender age and eventually became a master at steering a lorry once

on the road. 

His ability to handle the steering wheel of a lorry was adjudged superb, hence he

was fondly called Gara, a term which eventually became a suffix to his original name, Shuaibu.

He was therefore often called Shuaibu Gara, Dogon driver, especially at the height of his driving career for the lorries of the Arab-owned Kasarawi Transport Company, based in Jos, before he started driving his own lorry.

 He was one of the shareholders of Gombe Transport

and Trading Company (GTTC) established by a group of Gombe businessmen, educated elites, and title holders. 

He had acquired considerable wealth as a transporter, large-scale farmer, contractor, company agent, among other business ventures. He was one of the first transporters of Ashaka Cement Company, transporting cement to different parts of Nigeria.

 He used part of his wealth to support his family, friends, relatives, associates, and the needy. He

built a number of mosques (Masajids) in different parts of Gombe for public use, among other kind gestures for the improvement of the well-being of people.

 He died in 2001 at the advanced age of 82, after a protracted illness, and left behind a large family in Gombe, his hometown.

Alhaji Shuaibu Gara was one of the sons of Alhaji Ibrahim

Baballe, a Hausa merchant from Rimin Gado in Kano State

involved in long-distance trade. In the course of long-distance

trading, Ibrahim Baballe left Kano for Gombe and settled at the important pre-colonial market of Kundulum, where Shuaibu Gara was born in 1919, the year Gombe town was founded as the new

administrative headquarters of Gombe emirate and Gombe Division. 

With the establishment of Gombe town, merchants and

traders living in Kundulum relocated to Gombe town, where a new market was established. Baballe’s family moved and settled in the area of Kumbiya-Kumbiya where Shuaibu Gara

grew up.
