The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has returned to school and is set to study Law (Common Law and Sharia).
According to the admission letter dated 12th January, 2026 and trending on social media, the former Central Bank Governor is set to study at the Northwest University, Kano.
Naija News reports that Sanusi was granted special consideration and would resume in the 200 level with effect from the 2024/2025 academic session.
Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, also confirmed the development in a post on his Facebook account, adding that the step should inspire others to take a similar step.
“The Emir of Kano, Dr. Muhammadu Sanusi II, has returned to the classroom, following the approval of a special admission by Northwest University, Kano into the LL.B (Common Law and Sharia) programme at Level 200 in the Faculty of Law. This remarkable step is sure to inspire many people to also take a similar step,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, the Emir of Kano recently lamented the presence of too many sycophants in the Nigerian political space.
He argued that those appointed as aides and advisers to political office holders often fail to tell their principals the truth, but only say what such leaders want to hear about their policies and activities, which is often not the truth.
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), who spoke in Abuja at the Oxford Global Think Tank Leadership Conference and Book Launch, where he and Atedo Peterside bared their minds on Nigeria’s economic policies and governance challenges, pointed out that he speaks the truth to those in power and that is why many of those in government don’t like him.
He charged Ministers and presidential aides to avoid turning themselves into praise singers rather than giving the President honest advice that can save the nation’s economy.
Naija News reports that Sanusi lamented that apart from the presence of too many sycophants as aides to those in leadership positions, most of those in power often see those who tell them the truth or give honest feedback as enemies of the government.
