Would have been more ideal to name Katsina University after him.

I do not agree with this
I do not agree with the naming of Government Universities after individuals.

At any rate Tinubu does not have the authority to do this

It needs legislation


In the case of Buhar he was never a friend of Universities . Maybe they could have named Obudu Ranch or something like that after him

But I do not think universities Should live under the threat that their names would change based on the mood of the President
Are you aware of:
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
Obafemi Awolowo University Ife
Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Ladoke Akintola University.
etc, etc, etc
They are ALL government owned universities.

Ah! No now.

In as much as I respect Buhari, majority of us who are Unimaid alumni won't like this at all.

We pride ourselves in the slogan "if you want to be made, come to Unimaid".

What do we call the University now?

MUBU? MBUM?

Haha Tinubu. You for consult us first now.

Why not the University of Transportation in Daura? Why Unimaid? cry
I swear

Just like when he wanted to change my Unilag to Maulab abi na wetin in honour of Abiola grin
My alma Mater
Imagine
God forbid
We like our Unilag like that.

Why Maidugri? Why not that university of transport I. Daura ..it's high time the govt stops naming universities originally named after cities , Cities are greater than any useless Nigerian leader
Re: President Tinubu Renames University Of Maiduguri After Muhammadu Buhari by Focusmind: 8:02pm On Jul 17, 2025
Tinubu may be reserving UNILAG or UI to be named after him

He should have named the Transport University at Daura after Buhari instead of University of Maiduguri.

Some iconic schools name should not be changed for posterity and historic purposes
Re: President Tinubu Renames University Of Maiduguri After Muhammadu Buhari by oyeb15: 8:04pm On Jul 17, 2025
All this names will be changed later. Face substance not name changing that add no value to anything

Quite interesting.

Naming an academic institution after an illiterate who never built a single university while he was president.

More like naming a university after Tinubu.

Quite Laughable.

What does that have to do with my post? Did you read it? Did you comprehend it? What is the point you are trying to communicate in relation to what you quoted?
Re: President Tinubu Renames University Of Maiduguri After Muhammadu Buhari by stasius: 8:08pm On Jul 17, 2025
I remember when Jonathan proposed to rename UNILAG to Moshood Abiola University but that gesture was fought against by the students and alumni of UNILAG.
UNILAG is unique. UNIMAID is also a unique name.

Why not build an entirely new university and name it after Buhari? I don't support renaming UNIMAID to Buhari university. Build a new one in his name. Simple.

RISQUE:
This guy no just know anything. Why should he rename University of Maiduguri after Buhari? His praise singers will start now grin cheesy grin

Eulogize Buhari by giving Nigerians dividends of democracy, let Nigerians feel it and leave University of Maiduguri alone. What's all these ?

He was a successful military governor of the Northeast and initially drove out our first proper case of Islamic fundamentalism if I remember correctly.

This was one of the reasons a lot of us thought he'd be able to handle Boko Haram better than he did and bring back the Chibok girls.

However it is only God who knows how life pans out and what is truly behind any man's success.

I usually don’t support renaming of Universities after individuals but if a persona like Buhari is the beneficiary, it is well worth it

Tinubu is the biggest hypocrite. He and his stooges stopped then president Goodluck Jonathan from renaming University of Lagos to honor Abiola. They vehemently resisted the authority of the president
What stopped Jonathan from exercising his presidential power? When we tell you that being simple does not translate to an effective leader, you will not agree. Jonathan is not rugged for Naija type of politics. Infact Jonathan cannot rule United Kingdom because the way opposition will tear him up with media attack and propaganda, he will nearly resign.

My bad, I genuinely thought you were looking for an answer on why UNIMAID was picked, here is the post I referred to if you are; and if not, and you just want to vent, apologies I disturbed you.

Build a new institution in their honour. Leave historic sites alone. This is rubbish just like Alex Otti renaming Abia Poly, Ohakim's attempt to rename IMSU and Jonathan's attempt to rename UNILAG abi which school again.
There's a new federal University situated by Buhari in Daura. That's a perfect fit. Upgrade it's number of accredited departments and rename it to become more popular.
