This decision was disclosed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, following the council’s final meeting of 2024, held at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.

The renaming is intended to honour General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s former military leader and statesman, for his contributions to the country. Minister Idris confirmed that the council has taken steps to forward the decision to the National Assembly for further legislative action.

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