The Federal Government has decided to rename the University of Abuja to Yakubu Gowon University, Abuja, to honor the former head of state for his contributions to the country's unity and stability. Following approval by the Federal Executive Council, the government will inform the National Assembly to finalize the official name change. Additionally, the government announced free nationwide train travel from December 20 to January 6, 2025, to ease high transportation costs for citizens traveling during the Christmas holiday season, after which cabinet members will go on recess until January 6.
