The Emir of Dutse in Jigawa State, Muhammad Hamim-Sanusi, has conferred on a philanthropist, Nasiru Danu, the title of ‘Sardaunan Dutse’.
The Dutse Emirate Council earlier announced the conferment on Mr Danu following the death of the title holder, former Nigeria’s Minister of Commerce, Bello Maitama, last October.
Accepting the title, Nasiru Danu, through the ‘Wazirin Dutse’, Bashir Dalhatu, thanked the emir and his council members for finding him worthy of the revered title.
The emir, in the invitation letter to the turbanning ceremony, said the official conferment of the title on Mr Danu will be held on 18 April at the uphill Emir’s palace in Garu, Dutse.

Until his elevation to the title of Sardauna and Kingmaker for Dutse Emirate, Mr Danu held the title of ‘Dan Amanar Dutse’ conferred on him by the late Emir, Nuhu Muhammad-Sanusi, on 4 May 2017.
Dutse, the capital city of Jigawa State, is one of the five emirates in the state led by first-class emirs. The others are Kazaure, Hadejia, Ringim and Gumel.
