President Tinubu has announced the renaming of the University of Maiduguri to honor the late President Muhammadu Buhari. The institution will now be known as Muhammadu Buhari University Maiduguri.
President made the announcement yesterday evening at an extended Federal Executive Council (FEC) Meeting in honour of the late Ex-Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari.
President Tinubu in his speech at the FEC meeting said:
“President Buhari was not a perfect man—no leader is—but he was, in every sense of the word, a good man, a decent man, an honourable man. Nigerians and the world will debate his record, as all legacies are.
“Still, the character he brought to public life, the moral force he carried, and the incorruptible standard he represented will not be forgotten. His life was dedicated to serving Nigeria and Allah.”
“We stood together, he and I. Alongside others drawn from across the political spectrum, various regions, and different languages, we formed an alliance that enabled Nigeria to experience its first true democratic transfer of power from one ruling party to another.
“When he was sworn in as our party’s first elected President, he led with restraint, governed with dignity, and bore the burdens of leadership without complaint”.
“Mai Gaskiya, The People’s general, the former President – your duty is done. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. May his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness. President Buhari thank you, Nigeria will remember you.” he said.
