To Maintain The Rolls-Royce Of The Emir Of Kano, Sanusi: See What It Takes by autojosh: 11:15am On Apr 05, 2018 |
Despite its age, the 1952 Model Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith ‘ALW 11’ owned by the Kano Emirate is one of the most famous and most expensive to maintain Rolls-Royces in Nigeria – both recent and vintage. This Rolls-Royce was originally owned by an Armenian-British millionaire Nubar Gulbenkian who had many custom made Rolls-Royces in his collection. This particular Rolls-Royce was specially designed for him in 1952. Shortly afterwards, the then Emir of Kano, Abdullahi Bayero (Emir from 1926-1953) bought the car. When Bayero died, the car was handed down to his successor, Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I ( the grand-father of the current Emir). It is said that Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I made the car available for use by Queen Elizabeth II when she toured Northern Nigeria (Kano, Jos, Kaduna, etc.) in 1956. The late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, also later inherited the car and the current Emir, Muhammad Sanusi II, has now inherited it. Over the years, this Rolls-Royce has undergone restoration and several very high cost maintenance work. Almost all the parts have been rebuilt and refitted on it. For instance, a new ash frame for the alloy body was rebuilt. The Perspex covers for the unique front lights were recreated and replaced. A genuine Rolls-Royce badge bar was fitted on it to serve as a handrail for the Emir when he needed to stand and acknowledge his people; the speedometer was re-engineered, etc. Of course, this sensitive piece of the Emirate’s automotive heritage is not what you would expect just any mechanic to handle. The job of maintaining this Rolls-Royce was contracted to a long-standing British independent Rolls-Royce specialist, Chris Lee, of Beaconsfield, Bucks. According to Chris Lee, when the Emirate contracted him for the maintenance of the Roll-Royce, he was instructed by the Emirate to do anything that was required, to keep it in proper working shape, irrespective of the cost. Indeed, it requires a fortune to keep a 1952 automobile in top working condition. https://autojosh.com/see-what-it-takes-to-maintain-the-rolls-royce-of-the-emir-of-kano/ 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Following the previous fallout between PSP operators and the Lagos state government over the reshuffling of residential waste collection responsibilities under the Cleaner Lagos Initiative, a progressive consensus has now been reached between both parties. This new development contains an agreement which will see PSP operators, now referred to as Waste Collection Operators under the scheme, return to their former role as residential waste collectors, while Visionscape oversees waste management infrastructural reforms in the state.The agreement was announced today after the state government extended a proverbial olive branch to the aggrieved operators in a bid to resolve the long drawn out issues, and prompt the WCOs to return to regular waste collection operations in the state. Oladipo Egbeyemi, Chairman of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, AWAM, expressed his gratitude to the state government for their unrelenting support and dedication in the face of the challenges faced by the PSP operators. Egbeyemi further reassured Lagos state residents of an uplift in the city’s waste management system with the official resumption of door-to-door residential waste collection by the PSPs. Visionscape Sanitation is charged with the construction of waste management infrastructure, and so far, the organization has refurbished three dilapidated Transfer Loading Stations previously managed by LAWMA in Simpson, Agege, and Oshodi. Visionscape is also currently facilitating the completion of an Engineered Sanitary Landfill in Epe which at this time,serves as a safer alternative for the controversial dumpsite in Olusosun which caught fire a few weeks ago, and has since been shut down by the state government. The Cleaner Lagos Initiative remains committed to working with all parties to achieve and maintain a clean environment for all 2 Likes |
