Governor Yusuf Celebrates Emir Sanusi, Announces Partnership with University of London

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has congratulated the Emir of Kano, Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II, CON, on the successful completion of his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa the governor described the Emir as an “icon of excellence” and a role model for present and future generations.

Governor Yusuf said the doctorate degree was a well-deserved recognition of Sanusi’s contributions to scholarship, economic thought, family reform, and advocacy for social justice in Nigeria and beyond.

He praised the Emir for his lifelong dedication to education, reform, and public service, describing him as a moral compass whose work continues to inspire millions.

The governor prayed for continued wisdom, sound health, and long life for the Emir, noting that Kano and Nigeria still benefit from his wealth of knowledge and experience.

Meanwhile, Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to education, announcing plans to partner with the University of London to strengthen Northwest University, Kano.

He said the collaboration will focus on research, faculty development, and international academic standards, ensuring the institution competes with leading universities globally.

Governor Yusuf emphasized that his administration will continue to prioritize education as a pillar for Kano’s development and future prosperity.

Congratulations to him.

Emir Sanusi had no business being a traditional leader. He should've joined politics to use his love for education to change his people who think that education is haram.

I suppose northern leaders are too afraid to address that issue so they don't lose their goodwill amongst the Hoi polloi

Basic123:
Northerners and Muslims don't think education is haram.Infact,No religion emphasizes on knowledge as mush as Islam does.

But most core western ethos and norms are haram

Of what benefit are these so-called traditional rulers to our economy? Even though they are paid by the state, everything they do is abroad. No loyalty to the country that foots their bill. This has to stop

Sanusi's PhD Thesis Approved Without Any Correction

Helinuse:
🤣🤣🤣

It just means that the school have a system whereby the external reviewers (or internal ones) only ratify the extensive reviews and corrections of the supervisors.

Nothing special my boy

Even a conference paper (not journal paper oh), can never pass through the desk of the reviewers without correction. Except if the conference is a local Iranian or Indian conference. Nigerian conferences smarter than doing that.
