The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has explained his decision to return to school to study law.

Speaking with journalists on Friday after his lectures, Emir Sanusi said law is a discipline many people pursue later in life because of its relevance to everyday activities.

“There’s nothing you will do without the law. The law tells you how to drive on the road. The law deals with how you handle your family and your marriage.

“The law deals with your contracts. The law deals with land issues, property issues, and succession issues.

“It’s basically a field that we should, as much as possible, be familiar with. The day you don’t have law and order, the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.

“So law is the safeguard and the guardian for us, for a decent and stable society.

“The classroom is my default. I was telling the students that the first time I was at level 200 was in 1978. The second time was 1992.

“So, this is actually my third bachelor’s degree I’m going for. Law is a course I have always wanted to study,” he said.
