Ekiti State Government has appointed the Emir of Kano,
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as the Chancellor of the state-owned Ekiti State
University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti.
The Head, Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs
in the institution, Mr Bode Olofinmuagun, on Monday confirmed the development to
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Ado Ekiti, but did not give details.
The traditional ruler replaces the Alara of Aramoko Ekiti,
Oba Adegoke Olu Adeyemi who held the office for four years during the last
administration of former Gov. Ayo Fayose.
NAN learnt that consequent upon Sanusi’s appointment,
management of the institution had paid homage to the Emir in his palace.
It was also gathered that the Emir had since accepted the
offer, through a letter addressed to the government by the Matawallen Kano,
Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmed.
The letter by the Emir, thanked Gov Kayode Fayemi and the
state government for the honour, promising to use his influence and wealth of
experience to advance the course of the university.
