President Goodluck Jonathan has appointed the former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and the emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Pro Chancellor of the University of Benin, Edo State.
A letter of appointment was given to the Emir at his palace on Monday by the Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau.
The Emir saw his appointment as the reward of his previous efforts aimed at helping the university. He said,
"I'm saying this because as the Governor of Central Bank then, I came to the rescue of the university by spending N500 million to construct a bridge yearned by the university for 30 years"
"If at that time one told me I would reap the reward of that job immediately I would not agree but today in Allah's favour I'm being appointed Pro Chancellor of the university, something that is telling one that he should always think of being good not only to close people but to everybody far or near".
