President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of elder statesman and renowned philanthropist, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, who passed away on Friday.
In a condolence message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, Senator Akpabio described the late business mogul as a man of integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the upliftment of the less privileged.
“I knew Alhaji Aminu Dantata as a very ingenious and generous man, who made his fortune through hard work and contributed immensely to the development of Kano State, Northern Nigeria, and the nation at large,” Akpabio stated.
He noted that Dantata’s legacy of philanthropy and national development would continue to inspire future generations.
The Senate President commiserated with the Dantata family, the government and people of Kano State, and the Nigerian business community, describing the deceased as a national icon and mentor.
“Indeed, the late Dantata was an institution on his own he deserves to be emulated and immortalised,” Akpabio added.
He prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul and asked Almighty Allah to grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
