”Let me say that the recommendation to name this Arterial Road N20 after Wole Soyinka is well received. He is our foremost playwright, novelist, and Nobel prize winner. ”He has brought Nigeria fame, pride, and international acclaim.
Thank you for thinking that way. We all accept your recommendation on behalf of the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” President Tinubu said.
