ABU Drama Village: Everything You Need To Know by August21(m): 10:10am On Dec 06, 2019
Only Abusites can relate to this post sha.
Every school has what makes it tick. Ahmadu Bello University Zaria has a drama Village located within the University community. According to available records, Steven Ehrlich designed this project while teaching at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria.

It is the studio of the theater and performing art and it is the place where most of the students carry out their practical work.

Since 1976, it has received over 400 visiting scholars, researchers and performance troupes from within and outside the country. It has therefore become a Mecca of sorts and gone on to appear in the Encyclopedia of World Architecture.
Steven Ehrlich looked for inspiration from the ancient Hausa cities of northern Nigeria with their mud-walled compound houses and devised a theatre plan that echoes this traditional cloistered configuration.
The Drama village incorporates four circular thatched huts, linked by compound walls that are positioned to create a circular central performance area. This arrangement allows for a variety of configurations, from the traditional proscenium stage to theatre-in-the-round.
The huts provide flexibility and serve as audience seating, secondary performance spaces and individual studio workshops.
A domed mud-walled square room, or soro, anchors the south end of the facility and serves as the theatre entrance. A second soro, at the opposite end of the compound, houses back-stage functions. Both square volumes are detailed with traditional bas-relief ornamentation.

In as much as you're in the confined of the school fence, your security is 99.9% guaranteed. I'm sure u must have been told there hasn't been any case of cultism in ABU. But since u have interest staying off-k, I'll advise you don't keep late nights. Aside that, Zaria is relatively peaceful.
As for tribal segregation, it doesn't hold water there. I.e Your academic excellence is absolutely base on merit expect of course school politics.
