President Bola Tinubu has named the M18 road in the Guzape district of the federal capital territory (FCT) as Chinua Achebe expressway.
Olusegun Dada, special assistant to the president on social media, said the president inaugurated the expressway on Saturday before naming it after the late renowned novelist.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Commissions the M18 road infrastructure in Guzape District of Abuja. Names road after Nigerian Novelist and Poet, late Professor Chinua Achebe,” he wrote.
Achebe died in 2013 at the age of 83. He was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as one of the fathers of modern African literature.
