President Muhammadu Buhari has described the death of Kano State Islamic scholar and billionaire businessman, Isyaku Rabiu, as a colossal loss.

In a statement on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, President Buhari said Rabiu’s death was not only a loss to the field of learning but also the business sector.

He noted that no tribute can do justice to the amazing virtues of the late businessman, in view of his vast contributions to scholarship, industrial investments, and development in the country.

“The late Rabiu had the remarkable qualities of combining scholarship and vast business investments that created job opportunities for hundreds of people.

“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 (people) resort to some other means to gain success,” the President said.

He further 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 was to live by his good examples.

President Buhari condoled with the deceased’s family, as well as the government and the people of Kano State over what he described as a great loss.

He also prayed to Allah to bless and forgive the soul of the departed.
