UNIVERSITY of Lagos is set to name a
15-storey girls hostel after Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan this Friday.
At a briefing yesterday, the Deputy
Vice Chancellor, Professor Duro Oni, said the 15-storey building expected to
cost about N3 billion would be named after the First Lady because of her
contributions towards women folks. He said:
“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.” According to him, like other tertiary institutions,
UNILAG had been having problem of accommodation hindering students especially
the female students getting to school on time, saying “about 28,000
undergraduates struggle for 8,500 spaces every year in UNILAG.” Is this naming
not a deviation from the UNILAG’s norm of naming hostels such as Moremi, Kofo,
Makama, Amina.
Do you support the naming the 15
storey hostel after Patience Jonathan?
