Why not University of Jos? Ahmadu Belli was honoured in Zaria, Awolowo was honoured with Ile Ife, Zik was honoured in Anambra. What isbgo8jgnon with APC government?

@Nelkonniyi

Because we believed in edifices more than anything.

The name "university of abuja" is instantly recognizable anywhere. It is therefore an invaluable brand. In contrast the name Yakubu Gowon university is a downgrade IMHO. Elsewhere most public universities retain the names of host cities. Were stakeholders even consulted?

Renaming a university in the name of a patriotic elder states man and former president of Nigeria will not make the university great and effectively functional in as much as the funding is inadequate.
