...as TY Danjuma inaugurates first 500-capacity hostel for girls in wife's name

A former Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. TY Danjuma, on Saturday, delivered a 500-capacity female hostel in the name of his wife, Daisy, to the University of Benin.

Inaugurating the storey-building edifice at the Ugbowo campus of the institution, Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo said the donation was another testament to Danjuma’s philanthropy and desire to always uplift the downtrodden.

Obaseki said the donor always demonstrated concern with the plight of the Nigerian youths, particularly in education, hence the provision of accommodation for female students.

The governor recalled that Danjuma was one of the few individuals that made huge amounts of donations to Edo during the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic three years ago.

Obaseki, who said the state government had assisted the school in the area of road construction, urged other individuals and private organisations to continue to support tertiary institutions with infrastructure to improve teaching and learning.

Sen Daisy Danjuma, whom the edifice was named after, expressed delight with the project.

She, however, urged students, who would be accommodated at the hostel, to maintain the facility.

Maintenance culture, she said, was one of the challenges in infrastructure development in the country, but appealed to the students to learn it.

She also urged the students of the University to engage in activities that would make the university a model for others.

Earlier in her address, Prof. Lilian Salami, Vice-Chancellor of the University, commended the gesture of the donor towards addressing the shortage of hostel accommodation for students in the school.

The vice-chancellor, who noted that accommodation was a critical challenge in the school, called on students to make judicious use of the newly donated facility.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Sen Danjuma, afterwards, donated another block of hostel for female students.

The groundbreaking was performed by the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire.

1. Boys hostels no better

2. It costs money to keep student hostels very clean. A lot of money more than the school fees we dey pay for Nigeria.

Then each of the 2500 students bring in at least one squatter!

Option b would be the stidents stay off campus in sometimes unsafe areas.

( I lived off campus. Na God wey dey keep us sometimes self)

In other countries they'll build before announcing it to the public, while in Nigeria the government will announce it 3 to 4 years ahead before the commencement of the project.

Write a letter to your senator to get extra funding for your university to build a befitting boys hostel then.

Or write to a rich Nigerian to help.( am sure someone begged Chief danjuma in writing for this)

Am serious.

Dangote donated a boys hostel to ABU Zaria some two to three years ago.

in what aspect please?

The building looks somehow

Dem wan pack them in there as sardines

Repackaged suffering


The most useless country in the world. The people involved in the project from idea of project to finishing the project, probably marked up a lot of money for the project, so they built this rubbish. If it is not 2 people per room, then it is thrash, inconvenient, and suffer head.


I wonder about the plumbing, the interior ease of movement, etc. Nigeria is just a very wicked place with straight face. They are really spoiling the igbos, teaching igbos bad ways of conduct. Igbos please shun these criminal ways, let us not act and live like people that scores 1 or 2 in a test and their graduate slaves. Let us do our best for the collective progress of all. It will favor us.

So the students are handicapped that they'll rather live in shit because nobody helped them clean up?

The students no dey try at all... Very dirty people. The female own dey shock me pass.

Uniben my alma mater... It was so much fun attending the school back then, those carefree days. Halls 1 & 2 were girls hostels, 3 & 4 boys hostels. Further down was PG hostel.
Those female hostels had so many beautiful girls... Cool evening like this, we will just stroll down and be looking for how to collect numbers 😀😀😀
