Isa Hashim, a retired professor who held the title of Jarman Kano in the Kano emirate council, died on Monday morning, according to a family member.
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.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.
He said the pandemic has passed its two initial stages of transmission in the city and gone into the “scary stage of community transmission”.The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has announced deployment of 3,000 workers to help contain the pandemic.
