Colonel (Later Brigadier General) Salihu Tunde Bello was Administrator of Kebbi State in Nigeria from December 1993 to August 1996 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha.[1] During his administration he achieved significant development of the state infrastructure.[2] In July 1999, after the return to democracy, all armed forces officers that had served in military governments for six months or more were forced to retire.[3] Brigadier-General Salihu Bello was among those affected by this decision.[4]
