SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that Federal Government had approved the establishment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Co-founder of BudGIT, Oluseun Onigbinde, has condemned the renaming of different public institutions after incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He asked why in less than a year, four public institutions have been named after Tinubu.
“In less than a year, four public institutions have been named after the President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“This abuse of norms is rooted in the sycophantic culture that has grown in recent times.”
“The President should put a stop to this as he’s signaling a culture that’s highly unacceptable.” he added.
