Senate asks Tinubu to rename education institution after late Afenifere leader, Reuben Fasoranti
Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the elder statesman and longtime leader of the Yoruba socio-political group Afenifere, passed away last Tuesday, leaving behind a legacy that lawmakers say deserves permanent recognition.
The Nigerian Senate has formally asked President Bola Tinubu to rename an education institution in honor of Fasoranti. The request signals how deeply the late leader is regarded, not just within Yoruba circles, but at the highest levels of federal government.
No specific institution has been named in available reports, but the Senate's push reflects a broader conversation about how Nigeria chooses to immortalize its elders and advocates. Watch this space as the story develops.
