President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to begin the construction of two new hostels, each with a 300-bed capacity, at the Nigerian Law School, Abuja.
According to a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja by Mr. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the minister, the facilities will be situated within the school premises. One hostel will be allocated to male students, while the other will serve female students, thereby addressing accommodation challenges within the institution.
In addition, the President has approved the construction of a major road linking the Body of Benchers’ Secretariat in Jabi District to Nile University. The project is expected to significantly ease traffic flow, particularly along the route leading to the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Both the hostel and road projects will be undertaken under emergency consideration to ensure their timely delivery.
