Muhammadu Sanusi II, emir of Kano, has commenced lectures at Northwest University, Kano, as a 200-level law student.
Sanusi joined other students for lectures on Tuesday, dressed in a black flowing apparel and white turban.
He sat quietly at the back of the class on a three-seater, following the session alongside other students.
The emir’s lecture attendance followed a special admission offer granted to him by the university last week.
Northwest University admitted Sanusi into the bachelor of laws (LL.B) programme in Common and Sharia Law.
The institution stated that the admission was in recognition of his extensive experience in governance, economics, and public service.
Established in 2012, Northwest University is one of two universities owned by the Kano state government.
Sanusi, a PhD holder and former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has remained a prominent voice in public life.
He is widely known for his expertise in economics and finance, as well as his advocacy for education and social reform.
