Throughout his career, Dandago authored and edited numerous books covering Accounting, Taxation, Finance, and Economics, leaving a lasting impact on both academia and public administration in Nigeria.
His passing marks the loss of a respected scholar and public servant, remembered for his dedication to education, governance, and community development.
