    The Federal Executive Council has approved the renaming of the University of Abuja to Yakubu Gowon University.
    This decision was announced by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, following the council’s final meeting for 2024 at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.
    The renaming honors General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s former military leader and statesman.

    Idris said, “The third item is that there is also a decision taken by the Federal Executive Council to rename the University of Abuja to honour elder statesman, General Yakubu Gowon.

    “The University of Abuja will, henceforth, be called Yakubu Gowon University.

    “Of course, the process will have to go to the National Assembly for all legislative work in that direction, but FEC has taken that decision to write to the National Assembly to change the name of the University of Abuja.”

    Idris also revealed that the council will proceed on a recess from December 18, 2024 to January 6, 2025.
