He was nominated the pro-chancellor of the University of Benin, Edo state.
Emir of Kano got his letter of appointment from Ibrahim Shekarau, the minister of education.
Sanusi after receiving the letter said doing good always has its benefit.
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.”
Emir of Kano warned administrations against launching too many universities. Sanusi said what the country needs today is quality education that will herald the much needed development.
Sanusi pointed out that it was not the figure of universities that determined development in a nation but the actual quality of the education in such a country; so, on the way to greatness, government in Nigeria should endeavour to do all it can to enable that Nigeria education sector got the attention that would help increase the production ability of the nation.
