Tinubu renames Kaduna Petroleum Institute after Shehu Musa Yar’Adua

President Bola Tinubu announced that the Institute of Petroleum Studies in Kaduna will be renamed and revitalised in honour of the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, whom he described as one of the architects of modern democratic Nigeria.

Speaking on the decision, Tinubu said that Yar’Adua is being recognised for his vision of national partnership and his enduring contributions to Nigeria’s democratic evolution.

“In recognition of his contributions, the Federal Government has approved the revitalisation and renaming of the completed Institute of Petroleum Studies, Kaduna,” he said.

Under the new arrangement, the institution will now be known as the General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua University of Geological Sciences and Engineering Technology.

The President said the move is part of efforts to strengthen specialised education in the petroleum and solid minerals sector while also preserving the legacy of national figures who have contributed significantly to Nigeria’s development.

He added that honouring Yar’Adua in this way reflects the government’s commitment to linking educational advancement with national history and leadership values.
