Sanusi stated this on Friday while speaking with journalists after attending classes at Northwest University, Kano, where he was recently admitted to study Common and Sharia Law. The monarch, who already holds a PhD, explained that his decision to study Law was the fulfilment of a long-held personal ambition, noting that pursuing a Law degree later in life is not unusual. “I am at my happiest in the classroom either studying or teaching because it is a process of learning. Sanusi stressed the importance of legal knowledge in everyday life, saying law provides the framework that shapes human interactions, governance, and civic responsibility. In a light-hearted moment, the emir joked that studying Law could help him better confront his critics.
