A day before leaving office, Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, renamed several airports after prominent Nigerians, including himself.
The Maiduguri International Airport in Borno is now known as the General Muhammadu Buhari International Airport.
Renaming the airports a day before he ceased to be president added to a list of controversial actions taken by Buhari in the twilight of his rule.
Buhari’s eight years in office were generally regarded as a dismal failure.
It is not clear if he discussed the renamings with his successor, Bola Tinubu, who was sworn in as president on Monday morning.
