President Bola Tinubu has renamed the University of Maiduguri in Borno State after late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
A breaking news by Channels Television said that Tinubu announced this on Thursday during an expanded FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja in honour of the former Nigerian leader.
“Before we take the prayers — in honour of his [Buhari’s] memory, with this special session of the Federal Executive Council (expanded) — can we adopt the naming of the University of Maiduguri with a new name — Muhammadu Buhari University, Maiduguri,” the president reportedly said at the end of the FEC meeting amid applause from attendees including ministers who served under Buhari and his son, Yusuf Buhari.
