Sanusi Misses UNIZIK Award Over Dethronement

The dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has missed out on an award he was billed to receive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State, over his recent dethronement.

UNIZIK announced on Thursday that it was deferring a honourary doctorate degree it planned to confer on Sanusi to a later due to his recent removal as emir.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof Charles Esimone, made the announcement at the 14th convocation ceremony of the institution, according to Punch.

“The award will be conferred on the former Emir in our future convocation ceremonies.

“The Senate of the University duly approved the award to former Emir Muhammadu Sanusi,” said Esimone.

UNIZIK had planned to confer an honorary doctorate degree in risk management to embattled Sanusi.
