Mohammadu Sanusi, the former Emir of Kano, has explained why he was fired from his position as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Emir of Kano.

Sanusi claims that he has “always stood to speak the truth to power,” which is why he was removed as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Emir of Kano, but that hasn’t stopped him from doing what he believes is right.

He bemoaned the fact that civil servants have sold their souls for personal gain.

“Over 80% of them have lost their conscience for personal gain,” Sanusi said, emphasizing that civil servants no longer perform their duties honorably.

Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, also spoke, stating that the foundation spent £563,000 training 49 top civil servants for the Public Leaders’ Programme Class of 2021.
