FULL LIST: Roads, airport, barracks and other public facilities named and renamed after Tinubu since becoming president
At least eight major public facilities have been named after President Tinubu since May 2023.
The latest is the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway.
The list includes an airport, a barracks, roads, a polytechnic and an international conference centre.
The naming of public assets after a sitting president has generated both praise and criticism.
Since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, several roads, public buildings, institutions and infrastructure projects across Nigeria have been named or renamed in his honour by the Federal Government, state governments and public agencies.
The latest addition is the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway, formerly known as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which was named after the President by the Federal Government.
The naming of public facilities after a sitting president has sparked public debate, with supporters describing the honours as recognition of Tinubu's leadership and contributions to national development, while critics argue that such honours are more appropriate after a public office holder has left office.
