Late Kano State Islamic scholar and billionaire businessman, Isyaku Rabiu
President Muhammadu Buhari has described the death of Kano State
Islamic scholar and billionaire businessman, Alhaji Isyaku Rabiu, as a
colossal loss not only not to the field of learning, but also the
business sector.
The President said, "No tribute can do justice to the amazing
virtues of Isyaku Rabiu in view of his vast contributions to
scholarship, industrial investments and development in the country."
According to President Buhari, “The late Rabiu had the
remarkable qualities of combining scholarship and vast business
investments that created job opportunities for hundreds of people.”
He noted that "the deceased had attained success through honest
labour and resourcefulness which helped him achieve fame in life, and
such virtues are not common in the context of today’s realities where
many resort to some other means to gain success."
President Buhari urged the children of the deceased to build on the
remarkable legacy of their father, adding that the best honour they
could do to him is to live by his good examples.
While condoling the family, the government and the people of Kano
State over this great loss, the President prayed to Allah to bless and
forgive the soul of the deceased.
