He said: “Through decades of pioneering investments in construction, banking, manufacturing, agriculture, oil and gas, and more, he laid the foundations for the economic growth of Northern Nigeria, creating thousands of jobs and fostering prosperity across the region.
“Beyond business, his generosity and unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes touched countless lives. From supporting education, healthcare, and community infrastructure to championing peaceful coexistence and interfaith harmony, Alhaji Dantata embodied the highest ideals of public service and philanthropy.”
“Nigeria has lost a towering statesman whose life was defined by service to humanity with humility, wisdom, and devotion to the collective good, and will remain a guiding light for generations.”
The Coalition extended its condolences to the Dantata family, the government and people of Kano State, his friends, associates, and all Nigerians grieving this great loss.
“We pray Almighty Allah (SWT) grants him the highest place in Jannatul Firdaus and gives his loved ones the strength to bear this grief,” the statement added.
