My relationship with the late emir of Kano, may Allah have mercy on him, was from our childhood. And even before both of us were born, there had always been that cordial relationship between our families.
The chairman of Dantata Group of Companies and an elder statesman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has awarded 4-year full scholarships to 100 less-privileged students to study different courses at the newly established Al-Istiqama University, Sumaila, Kano.
Alhaji Dantata, who said the scholarships were part of his contribution to address educational challenges in the society, promised to make full payment at once.
During a courtesy visit by the Governing Board and the Planning Committee of the university in Kano, Dantata expressed delight at the establishment of the university, which he said would create a lot of employment for the people and address admission difficulties faced by students.
