Femi Otedola Donates #3.7b To Expand Augustine University Engineering Faculty Building

Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist, Femi Otedola has donated #3 billion towards the construction of phase 2 of the engineering faculty building at Augustine University, Epe, Lagos State.

This came after an earlier donation of #2 billion by the debonair business magnate.

The project, according to Otedola, is projected for completion within 12 months.

Otedola, who is the chancellor of the Catholic-owned university, gave the assurance while speaking at 6th convocation ceremony of the university on Tuesday.

The convocation was attended by prominent dignitaries, including Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, religious leaders, and university officials.

In his address, Otedola honoured the academic and character development of the university’s graduating class. He thanked the university’s leadership, faculty, and staff for their role in shaping the graduates.

He expressed his desire to see Augustine University emerge as a centre of excellence for engineering studies.

The chancellor’s donation of N3.7 billion follows the completion of phase 1 of the engineering faculty building also funded by him.

The new phase 2 project, he said, is expected to further enhance the university’s capacity to train future engineers.
