Amina Mansur
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado-Bayero, has called on wealthy Nigerians to help the less privileged during Ramadan.
He also urged traders to reduce the cost of foodstuffs and other commodities to enable the masses observe Ramadan with relative ease.
The royal father made the call on Sunday in Zaria during the lunch of a book titled “Dauloli a Kasar Hausa,” meaning ‘Kingdoms in Hausaland, by Prof. Sa’idu-Mohammed Gusau.
He also prayed that God Almighty protect the lives of the people so they could witness the sacred month in sound health and accept the prayers and sacrifices.
The emir commended the publisher of the book for providing details on the Hausa kingdoms in Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi, and Zazzau, among others.
“They offerred clear explanation on the administrative system of governance deployed by each kingdom; their trades, norms and values,” he said.
The book reviewer, Prof. Ahmed Zaria of Kaduna State University, said that the 356-page book has seven chapters.
