President Tinubu Renames University of Maiduguri in Honor of Late President Muhammadu Buhari

In a landmark decision, President Bola Tinubu has officially renamed the University of Maiduguri after the late President Muhammadu Buhari, in recognition of his contributions to national development.

President Bola Tinubu has announced that the University of Maiduguri will now be known as Muhammadu Buhari University Maiduguri. The decision, made public during an address at the State House in Abuja today, aims to honor the legacy of former President Buhari, who passed away.

According to President Tinubu, the renaming reflects Buhari’s dedication to education and the unity of Nigeria, as well as his lasting impact on the nation's progress.

University authorities have welcomed the development, expressing hope that the new name will inspire students and faculty to strive for excellence and uphold the values the late president stood for.

The official unveiling of the university’s new name is scheduled to take place in a special ceremony in Maiduguri later this month.
