Dantata is dead.

Kano businessman-Abdullahi Sanusi Dantata has died in a German hospital.

Alhaji Dantata, until his death, was the chairman of Dantata and Sawoe Construction Company. He was an uncle to business mogul Dr. Aliko Dangote.

In a statement last night by the Director of Communication and Strategy in the Kano State Government House, Alhaji Baba Dantiye, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso said Alhaji Dantata would be sorely missed because of his contribution to the economic development of the nation.

Dantata is the third prominent and elderly Nigerian to have died in Europe this week following the death of  Dr. Matthew Mbu, a foremost politician/diplomat and Prof. Samuel Aluko, a renown economist who both died in the UK.

This trend speaks volumes about the urgent need to revamp our healthcare system. It is certain that most people lack belief in it but only the rich can afford to take medical tourism to other countries.
