That place is close to my village. The man initially built it as a hospital. The owner Dr Godwin Maduka is a medical doctor based in Texas. He built it in the image of the hospital he works at in Texas. But I'm just hearing now that he wants to turn it to a university.

Thanks for the added information. What I really want to know is the state of the building ... how well it is maintained and how much of it is occupied.... as in most of the floors have something going on?

Ok I wish him well and hope he detaches his ego and being from a none living concrete structure in African tropical rain forest , if he donates his time in teaching at any of our medical institutions in the east we will appreciate it more

A man that employed numerous white people working in diffrent branches of his medical clinics across USA should come back and teach

High-rise. Not skyscraper

Daydreamer ...

You should have shared verifiable data on the increased volume of water supplied and areas covered since Soludo became governor to remedy Peter Obi's gargantuan failures.

Are you able to do this to show that you are not the ignorant one here

benuejosh:
I thought this building was meant to be a hospital and it is now a university? Maduka wan get the money wey him spend for election back.

So you don't know that a place can both a Hospital and School simultaneously; just like the teaching hospitals dotted all over the country?

slivertongue:

come and see Margaret Lawrence uni in abj

No. It is a ghost building. Nothing is even inside it. Even the inside is yet to be completed. Grass took over it since. They just cut the grass and put some sign post for the pictures.

It's good that finally this building is being used for something rather than have it rot away for many years. The whole thing looks like a money miss road venture at a time.

MartinsD12:

This man could have become a better governor than soludo who is currently the governor of anambra, he has done more in anambra any politician

They say the man is an OSU . The thing that goes on in Igbo land , most of it stays there. It's a cover up.

Bestmanfornow:

Soludo is doing great in Anambra state

I never said he is not , just that maduka is a philanthropist, I feel he is passionate about development he will do better

... thanks a lot! I thought as much! .... one sign post the drain was cleared.... but the other sign post the drain was all clogged with grass... a sign of poor maintenance. White elephant.... just that the man still have dreams. ... hung his hat where his hand can't reach.

Ibos like celebrating mediocrity.
One structure university is a spectacular thing in their eyes.

Have you been to Afe Babalola University?

As just a University of Medical and Health Sciences, that one building is enough. He needs to have it properly equipped though. Knowledge is about quality not quantity. A closeby Administrative block, blocks of hostels and sports arena with water and constant electricity (who want climb stairs) are the only things remaining. In terms of admission, they must make it highly competitive--only admitting the best of the best.

The only concern is that proposed in Nigeria usually means NEVER or NOT IN THE NEAREST future which is why I don't understand the rush to run to the press. Hopefully it won't be a rebranding for the next gubernatorial election irrespective of the denial of intent.

It doesn't help that the person advertising it is the former campaign manager known for using different monikers on nairaland.

But It’s even Osu that get most of the juicy positions in Igboland. Due to Christian influence. So that qualifies him for the governorship even more

Prof, I am not your enemy.

The article you screenshot clearly said historically. But now it's measured by the height, not the number of floors.

Morbeta11:


Show us your papa house...

NL is for educative discourse not for name calling. The question I asked has received elucidation.

This Maduka highrise has really changed purpose several times from Hospital to medical research center and years later he has settled for it be made a Medical University. I hope it is realized this time around.

17-storey building, the tallest building in south east & south south? What will the 21-storey building in Akwa Ibom, south south Nigeria be called? I guess the highest building in the south east & south south😂

Tribune should research well before making such claims.

It's you that should read well before commenting. It says "Tallest University" and not "Tallest Building".

The man is doing it because of the coming Anambra election in 2025. He thinks he can hoodwink people with this white elephant project.

It’s you that should read well before quoting me. Go back & read the entire write up. Don’t tell me you didn’t see the tallest building in southeast & south south? Get a pair of glasses if you need one.

Was this not the abandoned building that was surrounded with bushes that was home to goats and sheep's and this building was used against Obi during campaign period... Lol now it's the tallest university in Nigeria. Afi suru

Tallest doesn't actually mean the number of floors.

Cambridge abs Oxford are just 1 structure so what's your point?

igwebuike01:

True but I doubt it is the tallest in south south too. May be only in the south east. The one in Uyo is 108.8 meters (357 ft)
