"While we appreciate this gesture I want to advise the governor to look into the various charges being levied students in this institution. I think it's time they are streamlined and reduced to encourage more brilliant wards of average Ogun indigenes."

"Bravo! This is a good reward for academic excellence. What you have done is reasons enough to encourage others."
Enitan Oyekanmi commented:
"The building of the hostels should be given to private sector initiatives, they will be more efficient and serious. No subsequent government can stop the project."
