Otedola make promises to Augustine university
In his remark at the occasion, Otedola said he committed to donating one engineering faculty building to the school in March 2018 but later increased his commitment during his mother’s 90th birthday celebration.
Otedola words:
“It is with thanksgiving to God that I express my great delight for today’s ceremony for the commissioning of the first block of the engineering complex of Augustine University. I thank God that my dream of donating the first block of faculty of engineering building has become a reality.
“On the 11th of March 2018, at the fundraising dinner organised by my sister, Dame Sena Anthony, I made the commitment to donate one building of the faculty of engineering to the university.
"On realising that the first building is a four-building complex, during my mother’s 90th birthday celebration last year, I increased my commitment to the engineering complex to the sum of N2 billion.
Otedola also assured the university of his plans to complete the project's second phase, ThisDay reports.
“In fulfilment of this pledge, I am extremely delighted to be also turning the sod today for the commencement of building No 2 of the engineering faculty complex.
“I hope the construction period for this building will not be more than two years in view of the envisaged rapid growth of the students of the university with the admission of engineering students in the school.”
He added that his dream was to support Augustine University to become the centre of excellence in Africa for the study of various disciplines of engineering.
