Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, has been conferred with a doctorate after completing his Viva Voce.
In many universities, the Viva Voce, or oral examination, is a crucial part of the PhD process.
Kadaria Ahmed, CEO of RadioNow 95.3FM, shared the news on her Facebook page on Saturday, noting that Sanusi’s PhD thesis was accepted without any need for amendments or corrections.
The statement read: “Happy to report, our Khalifa, our King, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, is now also a Doctor having successfully done his Viva Voce.
“His PhD was approved as submitted without any amendments or corrections. The examiners said congratulations Dr Sanusi!
“I am delighted to be able to join the examiners in congratulating Mai Martaba. Alhamdullilah.”
