Industry is a taxing field, in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the merchant’s honour. In full acknowledgment of this fact, top politician and businessman, Alhaji Nasiru Haladu Danu, was turbaned as the Dan Amanar Dutse. The Durbar took place on the 4th of May at the Emirs’ Palace. The two-day event included a Gala Night at the Royal Golf Course and was concluded by the turbaning and dinner hosted by the Jigawa State Government at the Government House Dutse.
Some of the guests in attendance were President Muhammadu Buhari and his beautiful wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, Hon Yakubu Dogara (Speaker house of reps), the Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi, and so many other dignitaries. Every guest was given the royalty treatment.
However, the centre of attraction that night was no other person than Nasiru who bowled everyone over at the event with his infectious candor and charisma. People who know him well never got tired of purring odes about him on his account of his powerful speech. And it’s no doubt that they are right on that account. Danu is a man of the people.
