President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the immediate construction of two hostels, each with a capacity of 300 students, for the Nigerian Law School in Abuja.
The President also directed the commencement of the construction of the road linking the Body of Benchers Secretariat in Jabi District with Nile University.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka, the projects will be executed under emergency consideration.
He explained that the hostels will consist of a 300-capacity female hostel and a 300-capacity male hostel, to ease accommodation challenges faced by students of the Law School.
Olayinka further noted that the new road, when completed, will decongest traffic around the area, particularly the route leading to the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The directives were given to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who is expected to oversee the execution of the projects.
