President Bola Tinubu arrived in Kano on Friday afternoon for a condolence visit to the family of the late elder statesman and industrialist, Alhaji Aminu Dantata.

Presidential Jet 001 touched down at the Aminu Kano International Airport at approximately 3:30 p.m., where the President was received by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other top government officials. Senate President Godswill Akpabio accompanied President Tinubu on the visit.

The President’s itinerary in Kano includes a visit to the Dantata family residence and meetings with government officials and community leaders to extend his sympathies on behalf of the federal government.
