The Digest:
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has resumed his studies as a 200-level Law student at Northwest University, Kano. Photos shared on his official social media account show the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor seated in a lecture hall alongside other students. Sanusi was formally admitted into the LL.B Common Law and Sharia degree programme for the 2024/2025 academic session after requesting special consideration.
