Full list of places named after Tinubu since he became president

The Federal Government has renamed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after President Bola Tinubu, making it the latest public infrastructure to bear his name since he assumed office in May 2023.

Minister of Works Dave Umahi announced the decision on Thursday, saying the 750-kilometre highway was named after the president because the project was conceived during Tinubu’s tenure as governor of Lagos State nearly three decades ago.

The announcement adds to a growing list of roads, buildings, schools and public facilities named after the president over the past two years.

Below are some of the major public facilities named after Tinubu since he became president.
