President Bola Tinubu has officially approved the renaming of the Petroleum Studies Institute in Kaduna to the General Shehu Musa Yar'Adua University of Geological Sciences and Engineering Technology. This decision was announced on a Friday and has been met with appreciation from the Yar'Adua family.
