Change back button of navigation controller

I have this code : 

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) 
{
        let controller = SectionsController()
        self.navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
}

In my class : 

class HomeController: UITabBarController,UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate, AddingProtocoleDelegate

And i want to change the back button title to "Back"

I've tried this in the sectionController viewDidLoad : 

        self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.title = "Back"
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = "Back"
        self.navigationController?.navigationItem.title = "Back"
        let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(
            title: "Back",
            style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain,
            target: nil,
            action: nil
        );
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.backBarButtonItem = backButton;

But any solutions didn't work.

Help please.

The back button belongs to the previous view controller, not the one currently presented on screen. Try this and see if it works for you.

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let backItem = UIBarButtonItem()
backItem.title = "Back"
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backItem
}

Swift 3:

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let backItem = UIBarButtonItem()
backItem.title = "Back"
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backItem
}
