President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced that the University of Maiduguri will be renamed Muhammadu Buhari University in memory of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The declaration came during a special session of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in Abuja on Thursday, where condolences were paid to the former Head of State and two-term civilian president, who passed away earlier this week.
