The federal government has refuted rumours circulating that the Murtala Muhammed Expressway in Abuja has been renamed Wole Soyinka Way.

In a statement issued to newsmen yesterday in Abuja, the minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, clarified that the administration has never considered renaming the Murtala Muhammed Expressway.

“For the record, on June 4, 2024, President Bola Tinubu inaugurated a new road in the FCT, codenamed Arterial Road N20 (from Katampe to Jahi). This new road links the existing Outer Northern Expressway (Murtala Muhammed Expressway) to the Northern Parkway (Ahmadu Bello Way).

“During the inauguration, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike proposed to the president that this new road be named after Prof. Wole Soyinka, and the President agreed,” he said.

He said only Arterial Road N20 has been named after Prof. Wole Soyinka, and the Murtala Muhammed Expressway retains its original name in honour of the esteemed former head of state, General Murtala Ramat Muhammed.
