Speaking at his palace on Monday, after receiving his letter of appointment from the Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, Mr. Sanusi said doing good always has its rewards. He explained, “I’m saying this because as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria then, I came to the rescue of the university by spending N500 million to construct a bridge yearned for by the university for over 30 years.
“If at that time one told me I would reap the reward of that job almost immediately I would not agree, but today, in Allah’s favour, I’m being appointed the pro-chancellor of the university, something that is telling one that he should always think of being good not only to his close people but to everybody far and near.”
Mr. Sanusi cautioned governments against establishing too many universities. He said what Nigeria needs today is quality education that will herald the much needed development. He pointed out that it was not the number of universities that determined development in a nation but the actual quality of the education in such a country; therefore, in the journey to greatness, government in Nigeria should endeavour to do all it can to ensure that Nigeria education sector received the attention that would help boost the production capacity of the nation.
Mr. Sanusi worried that a greater percentage of the university graduates today do not have the required skills to contribute or participate fully in the development of the Nigerian state.
He said something very urgently should be done to tackle the unfortunate situation.
The
former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and Emir of Kano,
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (Muhammad Sanusi II), has been appointed as the
pro-chancellor of the University of Benin, Edo State.
Sanusi received his letter of appointment at his palace on Monday from the Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau. The former CBN boss who raised the issue of the missing money at NNPC, said it is good to always do good.

THE
Rivers State House of Assembly appears to be on a head-on collision
with the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, over civil servants’ unpaid
salaries.
The lawmakers, who expressed shock at
the contrasting reports on the unpaid salaries of workers and the
state’s economy, summoned nine of the governor’s aides to appear before
the House by 10am on Tuesday (today) to make clarification on the
issues.
Those invited, according to the
lawmakers who sat on Monday, are commissioners for Information, Finance,
Tourism, Health, Power, Works, Agriculture, Budget and Transport.
Also, heads of ministries, departments
and agencies summoned by the House include the Accountant-General,
Chairmen of Board of Internal Revenue, Rivers State Assembly Service
Commission and Secondary School Management Board.
This will be the first time the House
would summon nine of the governor’s aides to give explanation on the
state of Rivers’ economy and unpaid workers’ salaries.
The House had observed that while the
state government was insisting that it had paid salaries of civil
servants up to March 2015, there were reports that were contrary to such
claim.
Meanwhile, the state House of Assembly has suspended three local government caretaker committee chairmen.
The lawmakers said the suspension became
necessary following reports of financial recklessness and insecurity
within the chairmen’s council areas.
Those suspended are Cassidy Ikegbidi (Ahoada East), Ojukaye Flag-Amachree (Asari-Toru) and Derick Mene (Khana).
An ad hoc committee was immediately set up to investigate allegations against the affected council chairmen.
However, prior to the assembly’s
decision to summon the commissioners and heads of MDAs, the Deputy
Leader of the House, Mr. Nname Ewor, had during the 169th legislative
session presented two motions.
Ewor, who represents Ahoada East
Constituency 1, had raised the alarm over the level of insecurity and
mismanagement of public funds, adding that the situation was common in
the three affected local government areas.
The lawmaker said, “In these three
councils, human lives have been rendered insignificant and financial
frugality has been jettisoned to the waste bin. The local government
areas are drifting to the Hobbesian State of Nature.”
Also, the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Leyii Kwanee, explained that the decision of the House was not aimed at witch-hunting anybody.
Kwanee, who presided over the sitting of the House, expressed worry that reports on the state’s economy was not encouraging.
He added that the development
necessitated the invitation of some top government officials to the
House for some explanations on the issue..
“As an arm of government, we are not out to witch-hunt the executive. But we are out to strengthen things.
“You are aware that the seventh Assembly
is gradually coming to an end. I want to tell you that it is better
started than never. We have been seeing a lot of conflicting reports.
“The other day, the Commissioner for
Information (Mrs. Ibim Semenitari) was on air saying that they (workers)
have been paid up to March. So, we feel very embarrassed as an arm of
government.”
Describing the motion on suspension of
the caretaker committee chairmen as timely, Kwanee pointed out that the
council chairmen should be held accountable for whatever happened in
their various areas.
