Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The Alumni Association of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife has unveiled its plan to build a multi-billion naira hostel for the students of the university.

Speaking at an event  organised  to mark  the 9th Great Ife Alumni International Reunion last Saturday, President of the association, Mr. Segun Oke, said that the project would cost N15 billion.

Oke also said that the association decided to embark on the project in order to ease the accommodation problem of the students, stating that the Federal Government could not do everything needed to make the university one of the best in the world.

He noted that the association had renovated virtually all the existing hostels on campus, while renovations were also carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture lecture theatre among others.

He said, “The alumni association will ensure that the welfare of Obafemi Awolowo University students are adequately taken care of.

 “We have set machinery in motion to construct a N15bn hostel to ease  the  accommodation problem of the students.

“Besides, no fewer than 100 students annually benefit from the scholarships given to outstanding students of the institution by the association.”

Also, hundreds of people, Oke added, benefitted from the free medical treatment organised by the alumni as part of the activities to celebrate the reunion.

He disclosed that the association had put in place a body saddled with the responsibility of ensuring harmony among workers, management, students and members of the university community.
