The Ekiti State Government on Monday approved the appointment of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as the Chancellor of the state-owned Ekiti State University (EKSU).
The appointment was confirmed to News Agency of Nigeria, NAN by the Head, Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs in the institution, Mr. Bode Olofinmuagun. He, however, did not give details.
According to the report, 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.
It was gathered that following the new development, the management of the institution had paid homage to the Emir in his palace.
Meanwhile, the Emir has reportedly accepted the offer, through a letter addressed to the government by the Matawallen Kano, Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmed.
