Why I Returned To School – Emir Sanusi

Lamido Sanusi

The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has explained his decision to return to school. Recall that Sanusi recently went back to pursue an LL.B in Common Law and Shariah at Northwest University, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he returned to school to inspire others, rather than practice law, because he is of the opinion that education should precede kingship.

He concluded by hailing the Kano State Government for prioritizing education, stressing that 30 percent of the state budget has been allocated to the sector.

His words, “A king who acquires education attains greater dignity, but a king without education—his entire kingship is worthless.

We appreciate the Governor for giving top priority to education. We have seen the impact through students’ performance in NECO, JAMB, and tertiary institutions. Whoever has not completed tertiary education should go back and do so.”

WOW.
