Nafisat Abdulrahman Abdullahi is a Nigerian actress, filmmaker, and entrepreneur widely known for her work in Kannywood, the Hausa-language film industry. Born on January 23, 1991, in Jos, Plateau State, she grew up with a natural pull toward storytelling and performance. Over the years, she built a reputation as one of the industry’s most expressive and emotionally grounded performers.
She studied Theatre Arts at the University of Jos and later sharpened her creative skills in photography and filmmaking, which helped her transition from just being in front of the camera to producing her own projects. With hits like Sai Wata Rana, Lamiraj, and Nabila, she became one of the most recognizable faces in Northern Nigerian cinema.
What makes Nafisat stand out isn’t only her acting talent, it’s the quiet confidence she carries, the way she balances fame with a surprisingly private personal life, and her steady evolution from actress to respected creative professional.
Personal Life
Now to the question that brought us here, is Nafisat Abdullahi married? What her past and present relationship status looks like?
She publicly had a well-known relationship with actor Adam A. Zango. That relationship has been covered by mainstream outlets and Zango himself has discussed it.
In 2016 two entertainment blogs published pre-wedding and wedding claims about her marrying an “Abdullahi Lawal.” Those stories appear to be unverified gossip and are not corroborated by larger, more reliable outlets. Treat them as rumor unless corroborated.
Recent write-ups and bios still describe her as unmarried and focus on her career rather than a spouse.
