If we have Chukwuma Odumegwu Ojukwu University, I don't see why Gowon shouldn't have a University named after him.

But Tinubu should have waited until Gowon died.
And Gowon should die asap

The man responsible for the avoidable Nigerian Biafran Civil War. The man responsible for the deaths of over 3 million Umu Igbo.

It's not as simple as that. The vice Chancellor of Lagos was not even consulted about the name change. He just heard it on air like everyone else.

The Unilag VC said he did not support the name change that the University of Lagos already had a very strong brand name and he would prefer it is kept as it is.

This wasn't a tribal or political issue. It was changing of the Unilag name to the name of a Yoruba man, and not Igbo or Fulani.

The modus operandi should have been better done and all stakeholders should have been carried along. Maybe if that happened, perhaps the name change would have been successful. The carrying everyone was the missing aspect.

shut up your dirty mouth.
Your 3 million umu Igbo people would have been alive if the idiot and the senseless Ojukwu who will not have peace in his grave didn't started the war by openly declaring for secession.
Re: Tinubu Renames University Of Abuja To Yakubu Gowon University by panpan(m):
Renaming the University of Abuja is not a good idea for now.
University of Abuja is already a brand name itself and does not need to be changed.

It's a great idea to rename a university after gowon. He was a good man. But it shouldn't be university of abuja please. There are many universities in the north

We're talking about a federal university not state.
Besides, it's common that most countries usually have a university named after their capital. It's like the citadel of their education.

university of Nairobi, university of Cape town, Univ of Yaoundé, university of kigali,Cairo university.

I don't know how they'll do it but there has to be Abuja inside the name. Yakubu gowon university of Abuja would do.

But trust Tinubu to do otherwise it seems he has exchanged his brain with cocaine
