The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos has officially inaugurated a motor park named the 'President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Modern Garage' in Oyingbo, Lagos. The event, which took place recently, was attended by several high-ranking officials, including the Chairman of NURTW Lagos, Mustapha Sego, and the Oba of Lagos among other dignitaries, signaling a celebration of President Tinubu's influence in the region.

Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, the naming of public facilities after President Tinubu has been a marked trend, with this new garage joining a list that includes an airport and significant roadways. The decision to name this motor park reflects both the political landscape and the power dynamics in Lagos, where the transport sector is a crucial part of the urban economy and public life.

This naming ceremony not only reinforces Tinubu's status in Lagos but also highlights the ongoing relationship between transportation unions and political figures in Nigeria. As such public endorsements through naming can be viewed as a strategic move to bolster support among key voter demographics, it raises questions about the intertwining of politics, infrastructure, and community identity in Nigeria.
