The president also expressed grief over the death of Alhaji Bature Abdulaziz, a prominent businessman and leader of Kano’s commercial community, who died over the weekend.

Tinubu said Abdulaziz’s death was a major loss not only to Kano but to Nigeria, given his influence in commerce and trade. Abdulaziz served as National President of the Harmonised Traders Association of Nigeria (HATON) and held leadership roles in several trade unions.
