Tribute to Muhammadu Buhari: Celebrating the Legacy of Nigeria’s Former President
As news broke of the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on July 13, 2025, along with much of the world, Nigerians collectively mourned this loss of a formidable leader. Universanet Travel, a website that looks to experience and showcase the beauty, diversity, and cultural richness of Nigeria, thought it appropriate to take a moment to reflect on President Buhari’s life, legacy, and contributions to Nigeria.
A Life of Service and Leadership
On December 17, 1942, in Daura, Katsina state, a man was born into great political and military leadership with the name Muhammadu Buhari. His continued journey from a military officer to military ruler to democratically elected leader typifies what resilience looks like in the context of Nigeria, especially with the many challenges the nation faced in the past 60 years. President Buhari served as Nigeria’s Head of State from 2015 -2023, and in this lifetime, President Buhari operated on a big stage that included a commitment to fighting corruption in the country, stabilizing the economy, and addressing Nigeria’s security challenges, among other noble initiatives.
A Legacy of Development
Under President Buhari’s administration, Nigeria enjoyed several events designed to stimulate economic development, create national infrastructure, and promote social wellbeing. The anti-corruption reforms and the consideration given to improving the business environment by his administration were among his more noteworthy actions and policies while in office. Even with all of the challenges faced by President Buhari, it is clear that he is committed to moving Nigeria forward.
A Life to Celebrate

Tributes from Across the Nile
Prior to his demise, most were aware of the uncomfortable tributes & condolences coming in from around the Nigeria, and Nigeria beyond, about President Buhari and his passing. You may also notice, President Bola Tinubu has chosen to keep the flags at half-mast (which is not customary), and President has also made known that Nigeria will have a State funeral for President Buhari. This is the respect (the percept gratitude) for soooo much service to Nigeria.
