Senate Approves Unilag Name Change to MAU!

Despite the massive demonstration of the students and apparent public opinion against the idea, the Nigerian Senate approved the renaming bill which was sent on Monday by President Goodluck Jonathan to bypass any embarrassing rejection of the name-change in what many Nigerians saw as illegal and unconstitutional even with some supporters of the renaming calling it as ill-timed or politically motivated.
 

The Nigerian Senate is on recess, the bill had been passed without delay but the Senate will make it publicly known after its members return from recess.
 
Other institutions that were renamed in the same bill sent to the Senate were the Federal University of Technology Umudike which was renamed to the Michael Okpara University, Umudike and the Federal Univeristy of Technology, Yola renamed to the Modibbo Adamawa University.
 
A law suit had been filed by students of the tertiary institution asking that the name-change was unconstitutional as it initially was done without parliamentary approval.
A hearing date for the matter has not been fixed by the Court.
