(SINL NIGERIA) The federal government has immortalised former President Muhammadu Buhari with the renaming of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) in Borno State after the late president.
President Bola Tinubu announced the renaming on Thursday during an expanded federal executive council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja in honour of the former Nigerian leader.
Specifically, Tinubu said “Before we take the prayers — in honour of 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 amid applause from attendees, including ministers who served under Buhari, and his son, Yusuf.
It was further gathered that President Tinubu, who led tributes for Buhari, described him as a man of integrity who lived a respectful life.
