Late General Sani Abachi, the former military Head of Nigeria.
Governor David Umahi-led government named Ebonyi State's Olympic Stadium after General Sani Abachi.
The State Government also named the Centenary City Ring Road, Abakaliki after a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim.
Chooks Oko, Special Assistant to Governor David Umahi on Media and Strategy, disclosed this in a press release after the Executive Council Meeting held at the new exco chambers in Ochudo Centenary City, Abakaliki, the State Capital.
The state government said, naming the stadium and the road after General Sani Abacha and former Senate President, Anyim was an impression of honour to both men for serving the nation credibly.
“Exco approved naming the Olympic Stadium after Sani Abacha and naming Centenary City ring road after Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim. It shall be named and called Anyim Pius Anyim Centenary City Ring Road," part of the release read.
It added that the executive council had equally approved the renaming of a primary school in Uburu.
“Exco received a request from the Commissioner for Education for the renaming of Agabi Primary school to David Nweze Umahi University Primary School, Uburu. This request is in consideration of the plight of the staff of DUNUHS who are requesting a standard school for their children around the school. This will help them settle within the community and render their services to the masses always,” the release added.
