President Tinubu will depart Abuja today for Kano to condole with the Kano State Government and the family of Alhaji Aminu Dantata, who passed away in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on June 28.
The renowned businessman and philanthropist died at the age of 94 and was buried beside his wife’s grave at the Al-Baqi Cemetery in the holy city of Madina, Saudi Arabia, on July 1.
President Tinubu was out of the country at the time of Dantata’s passing but directed some of his ministers, led by the Defence Minister, to attend the burial in Saudi Arabia as a mark of honour for the late nonagenarian.
