The Kogi State University has been renamed after a prestigious son of the state as directed by the governor.
Prince Abubakar Audu
In efforts to immortalise the late Prince Abubakar Audu, the current governor of the state, Yahaya Bello renamed the Kogi State University in Ayangba after the late first civilian governor of the state.
Speaking on the issue on Friday, Bello said that naming the university was the ultimate honour that could be done to the memory of the late politician who ruled the state twice as the civilian governor from 1991 to 1993 and 1999 to 2003.
“Today, and as always, I celebrate the life and times of Prince Abubakar Audu, the first Executive Governor of Kogi State.
“It is our hope that those who want to lay claim to his legacy will at least develop the same heart for the growth and development of Kogi State that he demonstrated through his lifetime,” Bello said.
