On behalf of the entire Labour Party family, Acting National Chairman Senator Nenadi E. Usman expresses heartfelt sorrow at the passing of Alhaji Aminu Dantata, a legendary figure in Nigeria’s business sector and one of the last great industrialists of his generation in Africa.
Alhaji Dantata’s legacy is profoundly woven into the tapestry of Nigeria’s economic history. His visionary leadership and dedication to fostering enterprise development established a foundation for numerous successful businesses and entrepreneurs. Through his mentorship and investment in human potential, he inspired and guided countless individuals, many of whom have become leaders in their own right.
A remarkable example of his foresight is evident in the tremendous success of his nephew, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, whose achievements continue to demonstrate the lasting influence of Alhaji Dantata’s commitment to empowering people beyond just creating businesses.
His passing is a significant loss, not only for his family and the people of Kano State but for the entire nation. His contributions to commerce, philanthropy, and national progress will serve as a guiding light for many generations to come.
On behalf of the Labour Party family, Acting National Chairman Senator Nenadi E. Usman extends deepest condolences to Alhaji Dantata’s family, friends, and the nation at large. May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and provide comfort to all who mourn this irreplaceable loss.
