Adamu Garba, former Presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, has said that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka should be renamed after Queen Elizabeth to immortalise her.
After his claim of UNN being the first university was debunked, he attached a rejoinder claiming that UNN was the first university under sovereign Nigeria.
Garba also said those that attended the school should start planning to redo their CVs.
Following her death, Garba took to his Twitter page to call for Nigeria to immortalize Queen Elizabeth by renaming the first university in the country after her.
He wrote, “In order to immortalized Queen Elizabeth, we should rename the University of Nigeria, Nsukka to Queen Elizabeth University of Nigeria since it is the first University in Nigeria.
“Immortalizing Queen Elizabeth by renaming the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in her honor would’ve been an easier deal if I were communicating with our grandparents. Fortunately, they knew her worth. Age is a grace, & 7 decades on the Throne can only be the work of God and Grace.
“Those of you that went to UNN, Nsukka, get ready to redo your CVs. Hopefully, your former school will be renamed to Queen Elizabeth University of Nigeria. I congratulate you on this remarkable progress.”
