He also took the opportunity to express his thanks to HM the King’s Ambassador to Nigeria for his efforts and assistance. During his visit to Morocco, the Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero will hold meetings with Minister of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, Ahmed Taoufiq, Secretary General of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema, Mohamed Rifki, as well as other senior officials.
