The Anambra State University has been named after the late Biafra hero, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. The bill to rename the institution was passed on Thursday September 11, 2014 by the Anambra House of Assembly.

The Varsity which is located at Uli, Anambra State will now be called the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu university.

“After due consideration of facts and information, the committee recommends that the law establishing the university be repealed while a new law aimed at amending the principal law be passed,” the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Mrs Rita Maduagwu said.
