Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano has revealed that he is undergoing a Bachelor’s degree in Common and Sharia Law at Northwest University, Kano. According to the monarch, this is his third in the series.
Emir Sanusi who made this disclosure while speaking with journalists after attending classes on Friday noted that he finds much pleasure in classroom activities either as a teacher or as a student.
“The first time I was at level 200 was in 1978, and the second time was in 1992. So, this is actually my third bachelor’s degree I’m going for,” he said.
“I am at my happiest in the classroom either studying or teaching because it is a process of learning.
“Law is a subject many people go to after retirement; People like General Obasanjo, Alex Ekwueme, Nasir el-Rufai, Osita Chidoka. So, this is not strange at all. It is a subject that we all need to live with.
“The law is all over us. It is the law that holds society together,” he said.
“The more education you have, the better citizen you become,” Sanusi said, adding that he had already gained new insights after only a few days in class.
“Maybe if I understand the law, I can give my traducers some trouble — maybe I’ll sue them,” he said.
