Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II (born: Sanusi Lamido Sanusi), received a new appointment from the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan on May 11, Monday.
He was nominated the pro-chancellor of the University of Benin, Edo state.
Emir of Kano received his letter of appointment from Ibrahim Shekarau, the minister of education.
Sanusi, after receiving the letter, said doing good always has its benefits.
He clarified: “I’m saying this because as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria then, I came to the rescue of the university by spending N500 million to construct a bridge yearned for by the university for over 30 years.
“If at that time one told me I would reap the reward of that job almost immediately I would not agree, but today, in Allah’s favour, I’m being appointed the pro-chancellor of the university, something that is telling one that he should always think of being good not only to his close people but to everybody far and near.”
The Emir of Kano warned the Buhari administration against launching too many universities. Sanusi said what the country needs today is quality education that will lead to much needed development.
Sanusi pointed out that it was not the number of universities that determined development in a nation but the quality of the education in such a country.
Therefore, to succeed, government in Nigeria should endeavour to do all it can to enable the Nigeria education sector to receive the attention that would help increase the productivity of the nation He added.
