… As National, FUNAAB Flags Fly at Half Mast on Campus

The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has joined the rest of the nation in mourning the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, by flying the National and University Flags at half mast.

The gesture, in line with the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive, symbolises respect and national grief for the late statesman, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, in his message of condolence, joined the nation in mourning the statesman, describing the former President as “a leader whose contributions to national development, especially in the areas of agriculture, infrastructure, and anti-corruption, remain etched in the annals of Nigerian history.”

Meanwhile, the corpse of the immediate past President of Nigeria is already airborne to the country with the funeral rites scheduled to hold at 2:00 p.m. in Daura, Katsina State.
