"It is a female hostel and the person due to be
named after it is the President's wife who has
touched the lives of many women. Over time, we
have been having issues with shortage of
accommodation, especially for our female
students; but as it stands, we are about to
witness a huge relief in that regard. I must thank
the first lady for agreeing to be part of the
history-making event and also thank our parents
for coming to partner with us," he said." he said.
The project, tagged: "Dame Patience Goodluck
Jonathan's Female Hostel Complex'', is expected
to be completed in two years and would be
financed by the parents forum of UNILAG." Prof

accomodation provided for just 8,000 of the
undergraduates.
