The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, on Tuesday, resumed lectures at Northwest University, Kano, as a Level 200 Law student.

Dressed in a black long gown with a white turban, the Emir joined other students for lecture.

He sat at the back of the class in a three-seater, quietly following the session alongside other students.

His resumption comes after the university offered him a special admission offer last week, granting him entry into the Bachelor of Laws (LL. B) programme in Common and Sharia Law.

The institution said the decision was in recognition of his extensive experience in governance, economics, and public service.

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

Already a PhD holder, Sanusi is a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and has remained a prominent voice in public life.

He is widely celebrated for his expertise in economics and finance, as well as his advocacy for education and social reform.

His presence on campus drew excitement among younger classmates, who described the moment as symbolic of the value of lifelong learning. (Daily Trust)
