The Federal Government has renamed the University of Abuja after former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon.
By the approval of President Bola Tinubu, University of Abuja is now to be known and addressed as Yakubu Gowon University.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed the decision to journalists at the State House on Monday, following a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu.
The renaming is in honour of Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday.
Idris stated that the proposal would be forwarded to the National Assembly for formal approval.
