The University of Lagos is set to name a 15-storey girls hostel after Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan this Friday.
At a briefing yesterday, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Duro Oni, said the 15-storey building expected to cost about N3 billion would be named after the First Lady because of her contributions towards women-folk.
He said: “It is a female hostel due to be named after the President’s wife who has touched the lives of many women.”
Similarly, Chairman of the Fund Raising Committee, Prof. Nwose Chukuma, said: “The parents’ forum is not only building a hostel to help solve accommodation problem in the university, the 15-storey hostel project is named after the First Lady to honour her for her numerous contributions to the development and emancipation of women in Nigeria and Africa.”
