It is profoundly disappointing to witness the alarming trend of naming public institutions, infrastructure, and military facilities after a sitting president. This act runs counter to established principles of honor, service, and public morality. The recent decisions to name critical institutions after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, including barracks, airports, and other facilities, reflect a troubling disregard for historical preservation, respect for our fallen heroes, and the collective legacy of the Nigerian people.
The renaming of a military barracks in Asokoro after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is particularly egregious. Military barracks are not mere structures; they are sanctuaries of sacrifice, discipline, and service to the nation. Naming such an institution after a sitting president, while Nigeria has countless soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our security, is a direct affront to their memory. It disregards the values of humility and honor associated with the armed forces and diminishes the legacy of those whose selfless acts secured our freedom.
The Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW) has expressed strong disapproval of the recent renaming of the Minna International Airport, (MIA), reports ITREALMS.
The Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago had On March 11, 2024, announced the airport's renaming from Abubakar Imam Kagara International Airport to Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport and this has attracted a lot of throwbacks.
