Billionaire businessman and Chairman of the BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu, has hailed his ex-wife, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, describing her as someone who is passionate and dedicated to Nigeria’s culture and creative economy.
The billionaire businessman posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday after the minister paid a surprise visit to his Abuja office, wishing her continued success.
He wrote, “Had a lovely surprise visit at my Abuja office today from someone I once called my wife, the Honourable Minister Hannatu Musawa (Hannatu Musawa)”
“Times change, but friendship and respect remain. Wonderful to see the passion and dedication she continues to bring to Nigeria’s culture and creative economy.
“Wishing her continued success!” he added.
A report published by Premium Times in January 2026 said the minister described her failed marriage to the billionaire businessman as “the greatest experience” she has ever had.
I love what Rabiu has done. Not being together anymore doesn’t mean you have to quarrel, throw tantrums or become enemies. You can remain friends with your ex-wife or ex-husband and keep things cordial. I admire Rabiu for maintaining a good friendship with his ex, and I hope it reminds others that a relationship can end without respect and friendship having to end too.
