University of Maiduguri was renamed after Buhari to honour him - Ministry.

The Federal Ministry of Education has explained that the University of Maiduguri was renamed after late former president, Muhammadu Buhari, to honour his unwavering commitment to education.

This was contained in a statement by the Federal Ministry of Education’s director of press, Folasade Boriowo, saying that President Bola Tinubu approved the renaming during a special session of the Federal Executive Council convened to pay tribute to the late leader, describing Buhari as a statesman whose administration prioritized national security, economic recovery, institutional reform, and anti-corruption.

The Ministry further described the renaming as a symbolic gesture that acknowledges Buhari’s legacy, especially his administration’s efforts in human capital development through initiatives such as the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, the Treasury Single Account, the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, and various social investment schemes.
