Lagos State University Plans To Build 6,000-Bed Space Hostel For Students

Lagos State University has released its  plans to build 6,000-Bed Spaces hostel for students of the institution.

The Vice-chancellor, Professor Fagbohun Olanrewaju claimed that the project is under a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP)  and it's  expected to be completed in the next 18 months. 

According to Prof.  Fagbohun, the proposed model accommodation for the students will change the off-campus policy of the university that was reviewed not too long ago.

“We are now going to have our students coming as residents on the campus. The first phase of the project is looking at having 6,000 students having accommodation on the campus and what we did was to advertise that we want to have the building constructed using the PPP arrangement because the university does not have the fund and we don’t want it to be a project that will continue to be in the pipeline.

“We opted for the PPP arrangement and we have chosen PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as our financial advisers because we wanted a situation where we will be transparent and insulate ourselves from pressures from the public without ending up with non-performing contractors and eventually dotting the campus with uncompleted building scattered all over the premises, the VC said.
