On June 11, 2025, the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan (CoMUI) celebrated a significant milestone with the official opening of Block C, a brand-new student hostel. The event marked a significant leap forward in improving campus life and was filled with joy and pride, especially for the students who will soon call Block C home.

This achievement was made possible by Dr. Philip O. Ozuah, a distinguished college alumnus. In 2022, he pledged $1 million to support the construction of a modern hostel—and he fulfilled that promise in full. Three years later, he returned to commission the very building his generosity made possible.

Block C is the first and largest of six planned hostel buildings in CoMUI’s student housing project. With 88 two-bedroom units, four reading rooms, and space for 176 students, it sets a new standard for student accommodation at the university.
A Fresh Start for Student Living

For years, students at the College of Medicine struggled with accommodation. Overcrowded hostels, long commutes, and high off-campus rent made studying, resting, or feeling safe difficult.

The opening of Block C offers a real solution—clean, modern, and secure housing right on campus. It brings peace of mind, allowing students to focus on learning and growing.

The commissioning brought together university leaders, staff, students, alumni, and guests in a colourful celebration. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and hope for a better future.

This is very nice, Thank you Dr Ozuah for redeeming your pledge.

Interesting gesture from the man who recognises his alumnus. What is more interesting is the fact they're not complaining that he is making the university a no-man's-university, they're not complaining he is dominating them, not complaining about the source of his wealth, they're not complaining he has the billionaire tag. See them smiling and collecting money.

It seems such complaints only happen when it's an Igbo investing in Igboland; one race expressing frustration about the relative prosperity of the other.

This is amazing

If only most of our well doing alumnus in our school can do something impactful for their school too, the lives of many students on campus will be really improved.
Kudos to Dr Ozuah

Modern day hostels for students?
The comfort alone from thinking of staying in a well structured building is massive
God bless the man behind this massive upgrade

Two commendable things he has done. First off, he contributed back to his Alma Mata. Secondly, he promised and fulfilled it. That is something note worthy and honest. More people should do this

Wow.. This is awesome

Having not to worry about the condition of where to stay and how conducive one has to live as medical students is a milestone to achieving the aim and objective of becoming a good person at what you do.

God bless you sir for fulfilling your promise. Others should follow his footsteps.

Big respect to Dr. Ozuah. Hostel accommodation is one of the biggest challenges students face, this new block will ease a lot of pressure.

If only the students will handle it properly. I don't want to remember my days in futo hostel A

I have read a lot of things about this Dr Phil, and i am inspired by his story and the work he is doing, while giving back to his Alma Mater as well

God Bless Him.

Thank you Dr Phil for keeping your word. Wish our brothers and diaspora can act like him. Our Country would be better off.

Your selfless actions and dedication to helping others have touched many hearts! We're deeply grateful for your contributions, particularly in providing for families in need. Your compassion is a beacon of hope, and we're thankful for your service. May God richly reward your kindness. Thank you so much Sir 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats man. Nice one. Kudos to the man.

Nice.
But watch the corrupt university officials now taking bribes from students to secure bedspaces.

Dr Ozuah for president. What a man, he has surpassed some people's eight years achievement in one day.

Very soon nay Sayers will come in 10years time to advocate removal of his name from. The building block citing triabilism

I am inspired.

They won't reject it now...
Bunch of wicked souls.

These are nonsense talks... Nobody forced him to make the pledge. He wanted to payback to the school that made him who he has become, without the school, he would have been nothing in life. He is not doing the school any favors, as a matter of fact, during his time, the tuition fee was free of charge. So, don't bring your low self esteem on this thread. The school did not put a gun to his head to do it.
