‘Name A National Monument After Mike Akhigbe’

The House of Representatives on Tuesday called on the Federal Government to name a national monument after the late former Chief of General Staff, Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe.

It also observed a minute silence in honour of Akhigbe during its plenary in Abuja.

The resolution was sequel to a motion moved by Abubakar Momoh (APC-Edo), which was unanimously adopted without debate when put to vote by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha.
Momoh said that Akhigbe deserved  to be honoured and mentioned in the parliament due to his  contributions to national development.
He said that  Akhigbe, who died on October 28, had contributed immensely to nation building.
He therefore urged the House to support the motion and immortalise late Akhigbe.
