The federal government has renamed the Federal University Nduflu Alike, Ebonyi state, after Alex Ekwueme, former vice-president, who died in London last year.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo announced this at a funeral service for the deceased in Oko, Anambra state.
Osinbajo said the government decided to rename the school after the great Nigerian as a way of immortalising him.
The government of former President Goodluck Jonathan established the university February 26, 2011.
