 After leaving the school, Majiyagbe had a brief spell with the Bank of British West Africa, now First Bank Plc, before travelling abroad to pursue Legal studies. Armed with a University of London Law degree and having been called to the Bar at the Middle Temple, he returned home, precisely to Kano, his childhood base. He established the Law Firm of J.B Majiyagbe & Co., which through hardwork and perseverance is now reputed to be the leading Law firm in the Northern states of Nigeria. It was therefore not surprising that he was deemed eminently qualified to be elevated to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and was so elevated as far back as 1980. Indeed, he is the First Legal Practitioner in Northern Nigeria to be so elevated.
In July 2003, Jonathan B. Majiyagbe, a senior advocate of Nigeria, became President of Rotary International, a 98-year-old service organization with more than 1.2 million members and a network of 30,000 community-based service clubs in 166 countries. As the first person of African origin to lead Rotary, Majiyagbe's presidency is historic.
Majiyagbe is chairman of the Kano State branch of the Nigerian Red Cross Society and was for many years chancellor of the Anglican Diocese of Kano. He is also a member of the Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture and is trustee of various international cultural organizations.
A Rotarian since 1967, Majiyagbe has served RI as district governor, International Assembly discussion leader, committee member and chairman, Foundation trustee, aide to the president, and director. He is past chairman of the African Regional PolioPlus Committee and the African Affairs Committee. Majiyagbe is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Kano. He and his wife, Ade, are Major Donors to The Rotary Foundation.
