Its just as much stigma to the identity that this prestigious ivory tower boasts both locally & internationally; as it is a nomenclatural aberration. All respect reserved to the memory of the late democracy great.
For the poor soul to even RIP let the "leaders" learn to focus on that which is most pressing to our national life than paltry issues like this that bear no meaningful significance or effect on the total welfare of the common man that MKO lived his life advocating for.
I rest my case!!!
Long live the legacies of one of the greatest Institutions of Higher Learning ever-My UNILAG!
Long live the legacies of one of the most respected minds ever to hail from this Country-MKO Abiola!!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!
