 Tinubu Names Abuja Roads After Chinua Achebe, JP Clark


President Bola Tinubu, on Saturday, named roads in the Guzape District Lot II of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) after two literary giants — Chinua Achebe and John Pepper Clark-Bekederemo.


President Tinubu made this known at the inauguration of engineering infrastructure in Guzape District Lot II.


In his speech, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, appealed to the President to name major roads in Guzape District after the two literary giants.

Achebe was born on November 16, 1930  and died on March 21, 2013. He was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic. His evergreen novel, Things Fall Apart, remains a classic for literature enthusiasts across the globe.
