Federal University Oye-Ekiti Named After Gen. Adebayo



The Federal Government has immortalised the late Governor of Western Region, General Adeyinka Adebayo by renaming the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) after him. 

Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who announced this in Iyin-Ekiti at the funeral service for the late General on Saturday, said this was in recognition of the life and contributions of the late General to the unity and development of Nigeria. 

Osinbajo, who delivered President Muhammadu Buhari's oration at the funeral service, described Adebayo as an officer and a gentleman indeed, saying his "his military trajectory was in a way a lesson in Nigeria's history."
