The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has begun attending lectures at Northwest University, Kano, after enrolling as a 200-level law student.
Photos shared online show the monarch in class on Tuesday, Jan. 20, with other undergraduates.

The university offered Sanusi special admission into its Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in Common and Sharia Law.
He was observed to have signed the attendance register on his first day in class alongside other students.

According to the institution, the admission was granted in recognition of his vast experience in governance, economics and public service.
Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), is already a PhD holder.
