The Federal Government has renamed the University of Abuja after former military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon.
Henceforth, the institution will be known as Yakubu Gowon University.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris announced the name change shortly after the last Federal Executive Council meeting for the year 2024, chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
The minister said the decision was taken in recognition of the enormous contribution of Gowon to nation building.
