Emir of Kano, Sanusi angry with ministers for missing investment meeting

Sanusi also describes inequality to the globalisation of the economic system established by Africa as being responsible for the high migration in the continent.

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has attributed the high rate of migration and human trafficking in Nigeria to maladministration of the government.

Sanusi also described inequality to the globalization of the economic system established by Africa as being responsible for the high migration in the continent.

The Emir made this remark at the launch of the Book titled “From Frying Pan to Fire:  How African migrants risk everything in their futile search for a better life in Europe”, written by the former spokesperson to late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, Olusegun Adeniyi.

Sanusi said, “Instead of complaining about people running around the Sahara and trying to go to Europe, how many solar panel can we put in Sahara and generate energy and help small-scale industries, who is talking about that?

“This country, Nigeria has a population of about 200 million, half of whom are under 20, if we don’t create economies for them, they are going somewhere.

He described the recent report picturing Nigeria as the poverty capital of the world as unfortunate even though the country boasts of the richest man in Africa.

“The richest man in Africa is from Nigeria and Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, that is contradiction, that is typical of the world we have created.”
