The Publisher Nigeria learnt that Fadlalah, a Lebanese, died on Thursday. We cannot yet ascertain the cause of his death and his actual age. However, this newspaper gathered that he had been ill.
Reacting to Fadlalah’s passing, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Kaduna State, Shehu Sani wrote on his verified Twitter handle on Friday morning: “Just learned of the death of Mr Tahir Fadlalah; a great Kano based Lebanese Businessman and philanthropist. An accomplished man who believed and proudly identified himself with his adopted country in good and bad times. A great loss to Nigeria and the Lebanese. RIP.”
Fadlalah’s hotel, Tahir Guest Palace, is by reputation, the most prestigious, elegant and luxurious hotel in the north of Nigeria.
The hotel, founded in 1994, has been considered an icon for lodges to follow.
