He was the Minister for Internal Affairs in 1979 and Minister for Commerce in 1982. He was educated at Northgate University, Washington and was a member of the defunct National Party of Nigeria. Prior, to joining politics, he was a lawyer and businessman and had served as a chief registrar at the Chief Magistrate's Court in Kano. He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly and is one of Jigawas few billionaires till now. Bello Maitama has set up the stage for all politicians and businessmen in Nigeria. [1]As minister for Commerce, he was in charge of curtailing imported goods to Nigeria which was massively draining the nation's foreign reserves.[2][3]
