JUST IN: Kaduna Names Sanusi Chancellor Of State University

The Kaduna State Government has named deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, as Chancellor of Kaduna State University. This comes a day after the same state government appointed him into its investment board.  Sanusi, a trained economist, rose to become governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank before being crowned Emir of Kano. The Kano State Government dethroned him on Monday after claiming that he was in the habit of disobeying laid down rules.

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he has no hand in the removal of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano.  Buhari spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Wednesday. In a post on Twitter, he said, "President Muhammadu Buhari has no involvement whatsoever in the dethronement of HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II from the position of Emir of Kano. All such insinuations are untrue, malicious and politically motivated. "It is unfair and disingenuous of opposition politicians to try to link the situation in Kano State to the Federal Government and the Nigerian President. "President Buhari commends the people of Kano for keeping calm in the past few days of the dethronement announcement."  Kano State Executive Council approved Sanusi’s dethronement at a special sitting held on Monday. Since coming on the throne, Sanusi, who rose to become governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank as a professional, has always spoken out against ...

Soyinka Condemns Sanusi’s Dethronement, Describes Act As Abuse Of Power

  Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has condemned the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir of Kano, labeling the incident as a gross abuse of power.  Expressing his views in a piece on Thursday, Soyinka said that Sanusi's removal showed that the North was not ready to embrace the truth and modern way of life.  Sanusi, a former governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, was ousted from the throne on Monday by the Kano State Government.  He is currently taking refuge at Awe, a small town in Nasarawa State where he was banished to.  Speaking on the situation, Soyinka said that the removal of Sanusi was a huge loss to the North, who could have benefitted from his wealth of knowledge as a seasoned economist to develop the region.

Apollo 9

Apollo 9 . Apollo 9 (March 3–13, 1969) was the third crewed mission in the United States Apollo program. Launched by a Saturn V rocket and flown in Low Earth Orbit, the mission flight-qualified the Lunar Module, showing that its crew could fly it independently, then rendezvous and dock, as would be required for Apollo 11, the first crewed lunar landing. Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart tested systems and procedures critical to landing on the Moon. A spacewalk tested the extravehicular life support backpack. McDivitt and Schweickart, entering the lunar module through the docking tunnel, became the first humans to pass between spacecraft without going outside them, two months after Soviet cosmonauts spacewalked to transfer between Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5. Apollo 9, a complete success, was followed by Apollo 10, the dress rehearsal for Apollo 11.
