I didn't see this video when I posted the FB-Message above.
In this video almost all the speakers, including the First Lady of Ethiopia, said explicitly that the lying of the foundational concrete to build the secondary school in the place is in fact in consideration of a tribute to the birth place of Laureate Tsegaye Gebremedhin.
This is a great deal, in my view.
The building of the school is going to be financed exclusively by the gains from the selling of the book "Medemer" and it is part of the First Lady's nation wide initiative to build as many as possible schools around the country.
