Musa Yar'Adua ⓘ(1912–1993) was a Nigerian politician and teacher who served as the Minister of Lagos Affairs during Nigeria's First Republic. Yar'Adua was minister when Lagos Island and the capital territory was designated as the city of Lagos in 1963. Before entering politics, he worked as a school teacher for fourteen years and later held administrative positions in the Katsina Native Authority. From 1953 until his death, he was a member of the Katsina Emirate Council, serving first as Tafida and later as Mutawalle. He was the father of Umaru Musa Yar'adua, Nigeria's 13th president, and Shehu Musa Yar'adua, Chief of Staff of Obasanjo's military government.
