October 27, (THEWILL) – After donating N2 billion for the first phase of the engineering faculty building at Augustine University in Ilara Epe, Lagos, last year, billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola has again donated another sum of N3.7 billion towards the construction of the phase 2 of the faculty building. Otedola who made the donation during the 6th convocation ceremony of the institution during the week, said the project is set to be completed within 12 months.
The university named the engineering building after Otedola’s nonagenarian mother, Lady Doja Otedola in appreciation of her passion towards the betterment of the university and its students.
Otedola who is the chancellor of the Catholic-owned university said that the phase 2 project is expected to further enhance the university’s capacity to train future engineers and also in fulfilment of his dream to add a lasting value to the institution and its students.
Otedola expressed his appreciation to the proprietor of the university for appointing him as the chancellor of the institution, promising to support the vision of the revered Cardinal Anthony Okogie, whom he said accompanied his late father, Sir Michael Otedola to meet the late Oba of Ilara in order to obtain the present site for Augustine University to commence.
