In a move to recognize and celebrate Nigeria’s rich literary heritage, President Bola Tinubu has named a major road in Abuja after the legendary author, Chinua Achebe.
The M18 road infrastructure in Guzape District was inaugurated and renamed in Achebe’s honor, paying tribute to his enduring legacy and contributions to African literature.
This gesture has been widely praised as a fitting tribute to Achebe’s impact on Nigerian and African cultural identity.
The renowned author’s works, including the classic novel “Things Fall Apart,” have inspired generations of writers, intellectuals, and citizens across the continent.
President Tinubu’s recognition of Achebe’s achievements highlights the importance of literature and culture in shaping society and fostering national pride.
The renamed road will serve as a lasting tribute to Achebe’s memory and a reminder of the power of literature to inspire and transform lives.
