Nasiru Danu’s Inextinguishable Flame of Philanthropy

In Islam, it is said that charity is more than a transaction, but an act of worship, a means of purifying wealth and soul. Charity does not decrease wealth, and every dime spent for the sake of Allah carries unimaginable rewards

Businessman and philanthropist, Nasiru  Danu, holds dearly to this precept. The Chairman of Casiva Group and founder of NHD Foundation is a quiet, humble gentleman who does a lot for his people without noise and fanfare. The suave Danu could pass, arguably, as one of the most charitable billionaires around, as his flame of philanthropy appears inextinguishable.

Recently, Danu, the Sardaunan Dutse, extended his good deeds to the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) Islamic Centre as he inaugurated a N150 Million project at the Centre in Abuja. The multi-million naira project is a furnished 11-room building that will serve as the Imam’s residence at the Islamic Centre in the Guzape area of Abuja. It was built in memory of his late father, Haladu Danu.

Speaking at the public launch attended by the crème of the Nigerian political and religious circles, Danu said one of the greatest acts of worship in Islam is giving and spending for the sake of Allah. He thanked Allah for giving him the means and privilege of doing good deeds for his sake. Danu, who is also the Tafida Babban Daura, noted that it’s a rare privilege for him to inaugurate such a project, adding that he’s immensely grateful to the JIBWIS Centre for providing him the opportunity.
