President Bola Tinubu Renames University of Maiduguri
President Bola Tinubu has announced that the University of Maiduguri will now be called Muhammadu Buhari University, Maiduguri. This decision honors the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. The announcement was made during a special meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in Abuja.
Tribute to Muhammadu Buhari
President Tinubu spoke highly of Muhammadu Buhari’s life and leadership. He said Buhari was a man of discipline, moral courage, and love for his country. Tinubu noted that while no leader is perfect, Buhari was a good, decent, and honorable man who stuck to his principles.
“He stood always ramrod, unmoved by the temptation of power, unseduced by applause, and unafraid of the loneliness that comes to those who do what is right rather than what is popular,” Tinubu said. As he spoke, the room with ministers and government officials became quiet and thoughtful.
Memories of Working Together
Tinubu remembered when Buhari became president in 2015. It was a special time in Nigeria’s history because it was the first time power was handed over peacefully between different ruling parties. Tinubu praised Buhari’s leadership then as being dignified, humble, and focused on serving the country.

Why Rename the University?
The university is being renamed because of Buhari’s strong connection to the North-East part of Nigeria. During Buhari’s presidency, he worked hard for the recovery of the North-East from insurgency. The University of Maiduguri was one of the institutions that grew stronger during that time.
End of the Session
The meeting ended with prayers and a moment of silence to remember Muhammadu Buhari. Tinubu said, “The incorruptible standard he represented will not be forgotten.” People across Nigeria are continuing to share their respects and memories of Buhari.
