DETHRONED EMIR SANUSI GETS HIGHER APPOINTMENT

Dethroned Emir of Kano, ex Emir Lamido Sanusi has gotten another appointment from the Kaduna state governor, Malam El-Rufai.

The governor appointed Lamido Sanusi as the Chancellor of Kaduna State University

According to the information, the Kaduna State Government has named deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, as the Chancellor of the Kaduna State University (KASU).

Sanusi succeeds the pioneer Chancellor, Tagwai Sambo, the Chief of Moro’a, who was given the role in 2005.

Meanwhile, a statement from the Kaduna Government House announced the new appointment. The statement stated thus:

“On behalf of the government and people of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is delighted to appoint His Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Chancellor of the Kaduna State University.

“In public life, His Highness has demonstrated a strong commitment to education,” Muyiwa Adekeye, special adviser to Governor El-Rufai on media and communication said in a statement he sent to PREMIUM TIMES.

“The Kaduna State Government has no doubt that as Chancellor, His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi, would provide symbolic and substantive leadership in raising the profile of KASU as an emerging centre of learning on the national and global level.

He further detailed “This appointment of the new chancellor comes at an exciting moment for KASU which is transiting to a multicampus structure with presence across the state.
“HH Muhammadu Sanusi II replaces the pioneer Chancellor, HH Malam Tagwai Sambo, the Chief of Moro’a, who has served in that role since 2005. Governor El-Rufai has conveyed the profound appreciation of the government to HH Malam Tagwai Sambo for the long years of distinguished service to KASU and the state.
“Malam Nasir El-Rufai welcomes with gratitude the consent of His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi to serve as Chancellor of KASU and as Vice-Chairman of the board of KADIPA.

“The Kaduna State Government is grateful that HH Muhammadu Sanusi II continues to support and assist the realisation of the governance objectives of the Kaduna State Government.”

The state government had on Tuesday appointed Mr Sanusi deputy chairman of its investment promotion agency.

However, the well-regarded was dethroned on Monday by the Kano State Government after he was accused of insurbodination. He was thereafter banished to Nasarawa State.

Unarguably, the ex Emir is expected to resume duty immediately.
