A Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu has approved the renaming of the University of Abuja to Yakubu Gowon University.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, revealed this at the end of Monday’s FEC meeting while addressing State House Correspondents.
According to the minister, the approval to rename UNIABUJA is to honour former Head of State and esteemed elder statesman, Yakubu Gowon.
Though FEC’s decision to rename the university “will go through the National Assembly (NASS),” according to Idris, the Information Minister stressed “FEC has taken that decision”.
