The Lagos State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has officially unveiled a multi-million naira motor park named after President Bola Tinubu.
The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Modern Garage in Oyingbo, Lagos, is set to be unveiled on Tuesday, with top government and union officials expected to attend.
Dignitaries expected to be at the event include NURTW Lagos Chairman, Mustapha Sego, His Royal Highness Oba Rilwan Aremu, the Oba of Lagos, Tayo Ayinde, Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, and Special Adviser to Lagos Governor, Sola Giwa.
The new garage adds to a growing list of public facilities named after President Tinubu since he assumed office on May 29, 2023. These include the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna (renamed March 2024), Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way in Abuja (renamed May 2024), the Bola Tinubu Building at the National Assembly (May 2024).
Others are, Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex (BATTIC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu Polytechnic, Gwarinpa (established January 2025), Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks, Abuja (inaugurated January 2025), and the Bola Ahmed Tinubu NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Adamawa State (named in 2025).
Since the start of his administration, President Tinubu’s name has increasingly been etched onto landmarks, sparking debate among citizens and commentators about the symbolism and intent of these renamings.
