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

@Nelkonniyi

Because we believed in edifices more than anything.

@LordTyrion4

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?

@mohammak

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