Less than twenty-four hours after appointing former Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Vice Chairman of the board of the Kaduna State Agency for Investment Promotion, the Government of Kaduna State has appointed the deposed Emir as the Chancellor of Kaduna State University.
The appointment was announced in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye on Wednesday.
“On behalf of the government and people of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is delighted to appoint His Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Chancellor of the Kaduna State University. In public life, His Highness has demonstrated a strong commitment to education.
“The Kaduna State Government has no doubt that as Chancellor, His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi, would provide symbolic and substantive leadership in raising the profile of KASU as an emerging centre of learning on the national and global level.
“This appointment of the new Chancellor comes at an exciting moment for KASU which is transiting to a multicampus structure with presence across the state.”
The former Emir is taking over from the pioneer Chancellor of the university, HH Malam Tagwai Sambo, the Chief of Moro’a, who held the position since 2005.
The statement also disclosed that the former Emir Sanusi had accepted the appointments.
“Malam Nasir El-Rufai welcomes with gratitude the consent of His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi to serve as Chancellor of KASU and as Vice-Chairman of the board of KADIPA.
“The Kaduna State Government is grateful that HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II continues to support and assist the realization of the governance objectives of the Kaduna State Government.”
