Emir Sanusi tells Northern Muslims to be in tune with modernity

The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Saturday urged Muslims in the North to adopt new approaches to address the social, economic and political challenges facing them.

Sanusi gave the advice in Kaduna at the 10th Annual Ramadan Lecture organised by VON, FRCN and NTA, with the theme: The Challenges of Muslim Ummah in the 21st Century.

He said that the region’s failure to invest in quality education and scholarship was partly responsible for its backwardness and rise of divisive groups like the Boko Haram.

The Emir observed that due to dwindling socio-economic situation in the region, majority of the people, particularly the youths have been left “without any hope in life”, and therefore, easy recruits into insurgency.
