Tinubu approves construction of 600-capacity hostels for Abuja Law School
President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to begin work on two new hostel blocks each with a 300-student capacity for the Nigerian Law School campus in Abuja.
This directive was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by Mr. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister.
According to Olayinka, the hostels separately designated for male and female students will be located within the law school premises to improve accommodation for trainees.
He added that the President also approved the immediate construction of the road linking the Body of Benchers’ Secretariat in Jabi District to Nile University.
The minister’s aide noted that the new access road, once completed, is expected to decongest traffic, particularly on the route leading to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters.
Both the hostel project and the road construction, Olayinka emphasized, will be handled as emergency works.
