Senator Barau Mourns Renowned Industrialist, Ahali

Deputy president of the senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has mourned a renowned industrialist in Kano State, Alhaji Nasiru Ahali, who died in a Kano hospital on Thursday night at the age of 108.

Barau through his special adviser on media and publicity, Alhaji Ismail Mudashir, described the deceased as a patriotic citizen whose contributions to industrialisation in Kano State cannot be overemphasised.

He urged the family to find solace in the fact that he was a devout Muslim who spent his life and resources worshipping Allah SWT and assisting humanity.

“Malam Nasiru Ahali played a pivotal role in the development and growth of businesses in Kano. As one of the pioneer industrialists in Kano, he helped shape the formation of formal businesses across the state through his company, Mainasara and Sons,” he said.

He prayed for Almighty to forgive his shortcomings, grant him Jannatul Firdaus and grant his family and associates the fortitude to bear the loss.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of our late business icon. May Allah SWT grant him Jannatul Firdaus and give all those he left behind the strength to bear this loss,” he said.
