Sir Shettima Kashim Ibrahim, KCMG CBE (10 June 1910 – 25 July 1990)[1] was a Nigerian politician who was head of the Native Administration in Borno State and was a minister for Social Services in the 1950s. He held the traditional title of the Waziri of the Emirate of Borno after two previous Waziris had been forced to resign as a result of scandals in the Borno local administration.[citation needed]

He was a close associate of Sir Ahmadu Bello.[2]
