There is a proposal concerning the change of Northwest University's name to Yusuf Maitama Sule University. Presently, this is giving the students especially the pioneer students with certificate reading the name NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY sleepless night because they may end up being the only set with this name on their certificates. Presently, the staff are silent concerning the issue as an attempt to avoid partisan politics. The ASU of the University wanted to document the implications of this change of name so as to know whether to support or to persuade the Government to reverse its decision. If your University had gone through similar stages or experience similar issue, kindly share your view or experiences on this topic. Also, what are the other challenges the school may face if this proposal is approved?
