Emir Sanusi begins classes as 200-level Law student in Kano

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has begun lectures at Northwest University, Kano, after enrolling as a 200-level law student.

The monarch joined other undergraduates for classes on Tuesday, dressed in a black flowing outfit and a white turban.

Sanusi’s appearance in class comes days after the university offered him special admission into its Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in Common and Sharia Law

According to the institution, the admission was granted in recognition of his vast experience in governance, economics and public service.

Established in 2012, Northwest University is one of two universities owned by the Kano State Government.

Despite being a PhD holder and former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi has continued to champion education, social reform and intellectual engagement, remaining a prominent and often provocative voice in Nigeria’s public space
