He was born in the city of Kaduna in northern Nigeria on 6th April, 1969. His father, Himanshu Adhikari, was formerly the Chief of Trade and Industries Divisions in the Ministry Of Trade & Industries, Kaduna State Government in Nigeria. His mother, Gita (nee Bhowmick), hails from Siliguri in North Bengal. After his birth in Kaduna General Hospital he was named by the hospital staff as "Malam Sunday Kaduna". However, since his mother is a devout Hindu, she wouldn't accept this as his name. Hence, his name was coined from his parents' names (Gita and Himanshu) and he was finally named Gitangsu Kumar Adhikari. His nickname is Bubun. Some in Nigeria would call him 'Bubus'.
