History
Ajingi is a populated place in Kano, Nigeria, Africa
Ajingi is the name of a town and an LGA in the Southern Kano state. It was created out of Gaya Local Government in 1996. Traditionally, Ajingi and Albasu are still regarded as part of Kasar Gaya.
 The first settlers were said to be Kanuri people from present day Machina, Yobe state. Their first settlement was a place called Zango. From this place, the population gradually spread to other parts of  Ajingi. Although, Kanuri were the first settlers, but now Ajinga is predominantly Fulani, leaving only Gulya as the main base of  the Kanuri. It has an area of  714 km² and a population of  174,137 according to the 2006 census. 
In the traditional political setting, Ajingi have twenty (20) village heads (Dagatai) under the district head.
The  district  head  is  presently  Alhaji  Wada  Aliyu,  a  western  oriented  aristocrat  and  a  former  federal  permanent secretary.
Ajingi LG have ten (10) political wards each under a councilor who represent the community in the Local Government Council. Each ward is made-up of two villages.

If   a  girl  is  old  enough  to  get  married, she  will  get  married. Some of the elderly  people  were  shock  when  the  researcher told them there are ladies who are thirty years of  age  and  above  in  the  city  of   Kano  and  are  still not  married.  This is conspicuously odd to the Ajingi community.  When the researcher asked them again that what will be their response to the campaign of setting a minimum age of marriage
