The Nigerian Senate came to a sober end on Wednesday as lawmakers held a special valedictory session in honour of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who recently passed away in London at the age of 82.
The senators praised MB’s lifelong service to Nigeria and appreciated President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government for renaming the University of Maiduguri after him.
The Senate observed a minute’s silence for the deceased, applauding the state funeral and mourning period declared by President Tinubu, including the symbolic gesture of flying national flags at half-mast.
