Culture

Traditional stool

The Gworog (Kagoro) Chiefdom was created in 1905 by the British colonial administration as one of the three independent Districts in Southern Zaria province (now Southern Kaduna). As of 2020, it is a First-Class Chiefdom with its capital at Ucyo (H. Fadan Kagoro).[10] Its rulers, as are known by the name, "Əgwam."

During the long reign of the late Chief Dr. Gwamna Awan (MBE, OON), Gworog was considered strategic during political campaigning, as politicians would visit him to receive his blessing and endorsement. The current as of early 2021 is Əgwam Əgworog (Chief of Gworog (Kagoro)) Əgwam Ufuwai Bonet (CON).[7]

Language

The people of Gworog (the Əgworog) speak Gworog language [11]
