Sa'adu's son Dani told Al Jazeera: "He was a very passionate man, who cared about saving people. As soon you spoke to him about medicine his face would light up. He worked for the NHS for nearly 40 years in different hospitals across London.
"He loved to lecture people in the world of medicine, he did so in the UK and Africa. My dad retired and was working part time at the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in Welwyn, Hertfordshire until his passing. He was a massive family man and we did everything together, family came first. He left two sons and a wife, who is a retired doctor herself."
The former president of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, paid tribute to Sa'adu on Twitter, saying he provided "leadership for our people in the diaspora"
