Governor Yahaya Bello has reverted the Kogi State University, Ayangba to its original name, Prince Abubakar Audu University.
Announcing the decision in a statewide broadcast on Friday, Bello said that it was the ultimate honour the state could do to the memory of the late politician who ruled the state twice as the civilian governor from 1991 to 1993 and 1999 to 2003.
Audu had named the university after himself when he built it in 2001,but his successor Abubakar Idris changed the name in 2004.
Bello praised the late Audu for laying a solid foundation for the development of Kogi State.
“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,” he said.
He added that an executive bill would soon be sent to the state house of assembly to formalize the change of name of the university.
