Senate Proposes Educational Institution Renaming for Fasoranti
The Senate has recommended that the federal government rename an educational institution in honor of the late Pa Reuben Fasoranti, a prominent leader of Afenifere, in recognition of his significant contributions to education and national development. This recommendation was made during a plenary session on October 28, 2026, following a motion sponsored by Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire, who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters.
Fasoranti, who passed away at the age of 100, was acknowledged by lawmakers as a dedicated advocate for education, democracy, and national unity. Adegbonmire highlighted Fasoranti's influence on governance and his commitment to humanitarian service.
He also noted Fasoranti's opposition to military rule and his advocacy for democratic governance. The Senate observed a minute's silence in honor of Fasoranti after the motion was approved by Deputy President Senator Barau Jibrin.
