In the wake of the passing of Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, President Tinubu has announced a lasting tribute by renaming the University of Maiduguri in his memory.
The change was made during a solemn yet impactful Federal Executive Council meeting held on Thursday at the Presidential Villa. The expanded session was dedicated to celebrating Buhari’s life, ideals, and service to the nation.
President Tinubu emphasized the need to preserve the names of national figures who significantly influenced Nigeria’s progress. “The late President Buhari deserves a permanent mark in our educational heritage,” he said.
The rebranded institution will be known as Muhammadu Buhari University, Maiduguri. This development has been widely welcomed by stakeholders across the political and educational spectrum.
