The timing of the turbaning of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Dan Majen of Kano by the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero is wrong, coming only a few days after the accident, and despite the fact that some CBN personnel and contractors were among the crash victims. The turbaning should have been rescheduled, to fully commiserate with the bereaved and other Nigerians. Besides, it is not objectionable for a person to be honoured by his community. But Mallam Sanusi is a paid public official and should be circumspect in his dealings. It would have been preferred if he took his turbaning after his tenure has expired.
Proceeding with the event portrayed him as imperious and insensitive to issues around him. Four days after the occasion, Mallam Sanusi startled his workers by appearing in his Abuja office in traditional chieftaincy attire. He should have known that this is capable of being misinterpreted, and therefore be more cautious. Senior public officials should learn to discipline themselves, uphold their office, and preserve the serene atmosphere for which the civil service is known worldwide.  - Guardiannews
