Rubbish

Of what use is dat to de Southerners??
Misplaced priorities!

nice one. now we can rest

Buhari back to Daura




Simple as ABC


#TeamCNM

fair enough, despite his absence

That's a cheap one. Like changing Unilag to Maulag instead of constructing something in the persons honour. This is cheap.

He should leave the Aso Rock now to honour him.

Buried at last.

Isorait.

Good Development I think!

Will rebranding improve the educational standard of the institution?

Sapiosexuality:
That's a cheap one. Like changing Unilag to Maulag instead of constructing something in the persons honour. This is cheap.

He will soon appoint him a Board Chairman. Chill.

OK

Useless buhari...

Rename kastina fed uni to IBB UNI

I think it's ok. Alex Ekwueme played clean politics devoid of ethnic bigotry, unprovoked looting of the treasury, and retired at the right time with clean name.
May his soul continue to rest in peace Amen.

Watch as Buhari and his zombie team includes this as part his achievements.

Nwamakpe is missing but his boxers was found in Ogoniland
If only Alex Ekwurme can wear it.

I don’t get this whole idea of renaming a school after somebody when the person is dead.

Why would Buhari be the one to rename the school in the first place. What is the role of the schools senate/academic stakeholders or the governing council of the university. Did they deliberate and make such recommendation to the federal government.

Some of these name changes sound awkward. I wouldn’t want to see UNN, UNILAG, UI changed after somebody. I don’t think it’s proper to just change the name without seeking the opinion of people.

Nice.

Where was that ever done?

That's cheap and if he thinks that's a political masterstroke he's dreaming. GEJ tried same thing with Unilag and failed. That's a very cheap way to immortalise anyone. Construct a new edifice and name it after the person if you care so much.

What is wrong with this man, he was asked by the people of Anambra State to change Federal Polytechnic Okoh to Alex Ekwueme University of Technology but he decided to go to Ebonyi and create some acrimony among the Igbos by renaming an existing institution like GEJ ignorantly did to UNILAG by naming it MKO Abiola University before rescinding the decision
