President Muhammadu Buhari has said that despite some governors naming key projects after him in their states, he has earlier warned them not to do so.
The president disclosed this on Thursday during a live broadcast on Arise Television.
The president said this in Kogi State, while commissioning a new Confluence University of Science and Technology at Osara, Reference Hospital at Okene, and township road networks in Idah, Okene and across the three senatorial districts.
Other projects include Ganaja Flyover, Model Science Secondary School, Muhammadu Buhari Square and Civic Centre in Lokoja.President Buhari, who jokingly said that the Kogi State governor was one of the few governors that disobeyed his earlier instruction on project commissioning, however, said: “I thank the Governor and the people of Kogi state for naming it (Muhammadu Buhari Square and Civic Centre) after me. Here, I have to digress; I attempted to stop governors and ministers from naming projects after me, but the Governor disobeyed me here”, he stated.
