In continuation of his administration’s lust to honour prominent Nigerian Writers and Novelists, President Bola Tinubu has approved the naming of the M18 road infrastructure in Guzape District, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), after renowned novelist, Chinua Achebe.
The President announced this during his address at the inauguration of the road in Abuja on Saturday.
A post by Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, confirmed the president’s gesture.
He wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Commissions the M18 road infrastructure in Guzape District of Abuja. Names road after Nigerian Novelist and Poet, late Prof Chinua Achebe.”
President Tinubu, few days ago, officially named the Arterial Road N20, stretching from Northern Parkway to Outer Northern Expressway (ONEX), as Prof Wole Soyinka Highway
