Full List of Infrastructure Named After President Tinubu

The Federal Government (FG) has renamed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after President Bola Tinubu, one of several other major public facilities that have borne the president’s name since he assumed office in May 2023.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced the decision on Thursday, stating that the 750-kilometre highway was named in honour of Tinubu because the project started during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State about 30 years ago.

Umahi said the idea of the coastal road came about 27 years ago, long before Tinubu became president.

The latest development comes on top of an expanding list of roads, public buildings, educational institutions and government facilities that have been renamed or built in the president’s honour over the past two years.

List of public assets named after Tinubu since becoming president:

Latest Addition to Coastal Highway
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a flagship infrastructure project of the Federal Government, has become the latest facility to be named after Tinubu following the minister’s announcement on July 16, 2026.

The decision, he said, was in recognition of the president’s vision for the project which he said dates back to Tinubu’s administration in Lagos State.

Minna Airport Renaming
One of the first of Tinubu’s namesakes was the international airport at Minna in Niger State.

Governor Umar Bago in March 2024 renamed the Abubakar Imam International Airport to Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, saying the president has supported the state.

The move drew attention because the airport was only recently named after the late renowned writer, Abubakar Imam.

Southern Parkway renamed in Abuja
In May 2024, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, renamed the Abuja Southern Parkway Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way.

The road linking the Christian Centre to Ring Road One in the nation’s capital was renamed after being rebuilt.

National Assembly Library Named After Tinubu
Also in May 2024, the National Assembly chose to name its new library after the president.

The facility that was started in the Ninth Assembly, and was completed by the Tenth Assembly, was inaugurated by Tinubu.

Technology Complex Names Immigration
In December 2024, the Nigeria Immigration Service named its command and control centre after Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex (BATTIC).

The agency said the facility would serve as a critical center for border security, migration management and technological innovation for the service.

Establishment of Abuja Polytechnic
The Federal Government also approved the establishment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, Abuja, in January, 2025.

The institution was established to offer technical, vocational and entrepreneurial education.

Army Names Barracks After Tinubu
In late January 2025, the Nigerian Army named its newly built barracks in Asokoro after the president.

The military said the decision was made to “give respect to who respect is due.”

The facility also contains residential quarters, places of worship, sporting facilities and other operational infrastructure.

International Conference Centre Gets New Name
After the renovation of the facility in June 2025, the Federal Capital Territory Administration also renamed the Abuja International Conference Centre (ICC) as Tinubu International Conference Centre.

The conference centre, one of Nigeria’s premier venues for official functions and international events, also had some of its halls renamed after senior government officials.

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway renaming is the latest in a series of at least eight major public infrastructure projects and institutions named after President Tinubu since he took office – a trend that has continued across his administration.
