Introduction: Evaluating the proximate composition of locally utilized crop with nutritional and industrial potentials is a timely gesture. Aim: The study was to determine the proximate contents of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranean (L.) Verdc) grown in MadobiLGA, Kano state, Nigeria. Design and Methodology: Samples were collected from different localities of the LGA to constitute composite sample out of which representative sample was drawn for proximate composition evaluation according to standard methods of AOAC. Results: The Bambara groundnut grown in the study area shows the mean percentage (%) protein (18.83±0.49), lipids (7.05±1.82), fiber (5.74±1.09), carbohydrate (63.37±2.57), moisture (12.59±1.14) and ash (3.52±0.22). The result indicates that Bambara groundnut grown in Madobi could be an excellent source of protein, lipid, carbohydrate and mineral elements. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Bambara groundnut grown in MadobiLGA, Kano Sate, Nigeria has nutritional potentials that can alleviate nutritional problems in the area and beyond when properly explored.
