Isa Hashim, another statesman dies in Kano
Isa Hashim, another elder statesman and community leader has passed on in Kano State.
This came barely 24 hours after the death of Tafida Abubakar, the emir of Rano in Kano State.
Isa Hashim, a retired professor who held the title of Jarman Kano in the Kano emirate council, died on Sunday morning, according to a family member.
The 86-year-old died at his home, following a short illness, his daughter, Dija Hashim, told Premium Times.
Details of his ailment were not immediately available but a family member said Mr Hashim’s health deteriorated following the deaths of some of his childhood friends in quick succession.
Mr Hashim was a retired professor of political science, administrator and author.
He enrolled into the then Kano Native Authority in 1948 as a first school leaver and rose to the position of a permanent secretary before he retired in 1979.
Upon his retirement, he joined Bayero University Kano (BUK) where he taught for many years.
