Gov. Uzodinma Set To Rename IMSU After Abba Kyari, Describes Him As Patriot

The Imo State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma has said that plans are ongoing to rename the state-owned Imo State University Mallam Abba Kyari University as a mark of honour to the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari who he said died a patriot.

Abba Kyari’s death was announced by the Presidency in the early hours of Saturday following a COVID-19 related disease.

The Governor made this call when the management staff of the university led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adaobi Obasi paid him a visit at the Executive Chambers of the Imo State Government House.

In a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwuike Nwachuku, the Governor went on to say that Mallam Abba Kyari played a pivotal role in the liberation of Imo State and no gesture is too big for a man who died as a patriot.

According to the release, the Governor also said that consultations are underway with relevant stakeholders both in the education sector and in the State to critically look at the situation and take a decision.
