University of Lagos(UNILAG) is now known as Moshood Abiola University(MAUNI)!Really?
On May 29th,2012,the day set aside as "Democracy day" in Nigeria,we all woke up to the News by the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria ,President Goodluck Jonathan,that there has been a name change of one of the top universities in Nigeria from The University Of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University.This is in honour of the Late business mogul,philanthropist and politician; the would have been winner of the presidential election on June 12,1993.
This is indeed a good gesture from Mr President to honour MKO but we can't really say the motives were genuine.
We gathered that certain people are not happy about the name change and the fight to retain the original name continues.Let's hope this is resolved amicable but before then...we still refer ourselves as Greatest Akokites!!!
Aluta Continua!
