He was educated in Shelleng and Yola, and attended the Government College, Zaria (1957–1961). He joined the Army in 1962 and attended the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna (April 1962 – August 1962), and then the Pakistan Military Academy, Kakul (1962–1965).[2] Military careerHe was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in April 1965. He served as a Company Commander during the Nigerian Civil War. He attended Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, USA (1973–1974), and then was appointed Colonel, General Staff in Hq. 2nd Infantry Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan (1974–1975).[2] He was one of the participants in the July 1975 coup against General Yakubu Gowon, monitoring the situation from the 2nd Division HQ at Ibadan.[3] Following the coup, he became a Principal Staff Officer, Supreme Headquarters, Lagos (1975–1976).[2] Governor of Benue StateGeneral Murtala Mohammed appointed Abdullahi Shelleng as Military Governor of Benue State on 3 February 1976, a post he held until July 1978. Shellung had the difficult job of creating a functioning state machinery with an ethnically mixed and politically dissatisfied population. He built accommodation for civil servants and established schools and colleges, including the Murtala College of Arts, Science and Technology. He also initiated Benue Brewery at Makurdi, Idah Sanitary Ware Industry at Idah, and the Burnt Brick Industry at Otukpo. However, he failed to repair the untarred roads in the state. In many cases he opened establishments on temporary sites, thus storing up problems for the future. He was also criticized for destroying the mini Makurdi Stadium.[4] Later careerAfter retiring from the army, Abdullahi Shelleng became one of the leaders of the umbrella union of the North, the Arewa Consultative Forum.[5] In October 2005, he was one of the Adamawa State delegates at the National Convention of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).[6] In April 2006 he was one of a group of Adamawa State PDP members who announced they had suspended Vice President Atiku Abubakar the state governor Boni Haruna.[7] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Nigeria_federal_states.htm |title=Nigerian States |publisher=WorldStatesmen |accessdate=3 January 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20091223092037/http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Nigeria_federal_states.htm| archivedate= 23 December 2009 | deadurl= no}} {{BenueStateGovernors}}{{Nigeria Obasanjo Governors}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Shelleng, Abdullahi}}{{nigeria-politician-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url = http://greaterbenue.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=115 |title = Colonel Abdullahi Shelleng |publisher = Government of Benue State of Nigeria |accessdate = 3 January 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110711123537/http://greaterbenue.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=115# |archive-date = 11 July 2011 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dawodu.com/omoigui46.htm |title=Military Rebellion of July 29, 1975: The coup against Gowon – Part 9 |author=Nowa Omoigui |publisher=Dawodu |accessdate=3 January 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100102231005/http://dawodu.com/omoigui46.htm| archivedate= 2 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://odili.net/news/source/2006/jan/31/220.html |title=Benue State at 30: The people and their struggles |author=Tyodzua Atim |date=30 January 2006 |publisher=ThisDay |accessdate=3 January 2010 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.thisdayonline.com/archive/2001/08/10/20010810news01.html |title=Arewa Worried over IBB, Others' Refusal to Appear |author=Agaju Madugba |date=10 August 2001 |publisher=ThisDay |accessdate=3 January 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110309080856/http://www.thisdayonline.com/archive/2001/08/10/20010810news01.html |archivedate=9 March 2011 }} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://news.biafranigeriaworld.com/archive/thisday/2005/10/17/marwaas_loyalists_sweep_polls_in_adamawa.php |date=17 October 2005 |title=Marwa’s Loyalists Sweep Polls in Adamawa |publisher=BNW News |accessdate=3 January 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://nm.onlinenigeria.com/templates/?a=7270&z=17 |title=PDP suspends Atiku, Gov Haruna |date=19 April 2006 |author=Adeniyi Olugbemi |publisher=OnlineNigeria |accessdate=3 January 2010}} 9 : 1942 births|Living people|Governors of Benue State|People from Adamawa State|Nigerian Muslims|Nigerian Army officers|Nigerian Defence Academy alumni|Military personnel of the Nigerian Civil War|Nigerian Defence Academy Commandants |
