Bello Renames Kogi University After Late Audu

Kogi Sate Governor Yahaya Bello, on Friday renamed the Kogi State University in Ayangba after the late first civilian governor of the state, Prince Abubakar Audu.

He 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,” Bello said.
