Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi the second, has called on parents to give priority to education of their children, particularly the girl-child.
The Emir made the call in Kano while addressing the people of the state during the traditional Hawan Daushe held at the State government House, Kano.
He urged political leaders at all levels to give priority to female education as they did with their male counterparts.
He enjoined Kano people to support each other and work as a team for the overall development of the state.
Sanusi also restated the Emirate council’s support and cooperation for the development of the state.
The monarch prayed for peace, stability and progress in the country and for the safe return of pilgrims from the holy land.
