President Bola Tinubu has renamed the University of Maiduguri after late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The announcement was made at the ongoing Special Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president said the move was in honour of late former President’s legacies.
“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 said at the end of the FEC meeting with rounds of applause from attendees including the late president’s son Yusuf Buhari, and ministers who served under Buhari.
Late President Muhammadu Buhari died on Sunday in a London hospital and was buried in Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.
