Buhari: Maiduguri varsity should remain UNIMAID – Shehu Sani rejects renaming

Published

on

Former federal lawmaker from Kaduna State, Senator Shehu Sani, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s decision to rename the University of Maiduguri.

Ekwutosblog reports that the President, on Thursday, renamed the university as Muhammadu Buhari University, in honour of the late former president.

The decision, announced during a session of tributes by the Federal Executive Council, FEC, to Buhari, has sparked mixed reactions.

 

Both current and former students have condemned the move, describing the renaming as unnecessary.

In his response, Shehu Sani, in a post on his official Facebook page, stated that the university should remain known as UNIMAID.

He wrote, “Many former and present students of University of Maiduguri are not happy about the renaming of their prestigious university, but they are shy or afraid of rejecting or condemning it because of the person whose name was used.

“It’s not that difficult to say that UNIMAID should remain UNIMAID and nothing else. So far all our airports and train stations have been renamed.”

I’m not interested in legacy, I want to be remembered as fierce lover – Chimamanda

Published

Award-winning Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has revealed what she wants her legacy to be.

The renowned novelist said she wants to be remembered as a person who loved fiercely.

She, however, noted that she is not particularly interested in legacy because when she is gone, she wouldn’t know what would be happening in the world she left behind.

According to her, men are more concerned about legacy than women.

“I think it’s actually men who spend their time thinking about legacy. I don’t. I’m thinking about the next book I want to write,” she said in an interview with DW News.

“I want my legacy to be a person who loved fiercely. That’s all I want my legacy to be. And by the way, when we die, we don’t know what happened, so why should I care what my legacy is? I don’t know where I would be. I might not know…

“But more personally, I want to be remembered as a person who loved the people she loved and the places she loved very fiercely.”
