The Acting Vice-Chancellor, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka, Prof. Carol Arinze-Umobi, has lauded the contractor that handled the construction of the completed new Female Hostel named 'Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Female Hostel' for providing quality construction and facilities in the University hostel that will aid student's welfare and tackling accommodation challenges.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor made this known during the handing over ceremony of the keys of the Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Female Hostel by the MD/CEO of Atlantic Bridge Engineering Construction Company Limited, Arch. Chief Larry Koinyan at her office.

Prof. Arinze-Umobi commended Arch. Koinyan for displaying mastery and top class construction work as can be seen with the outlook of the gigantic student hostel edifice in the aftermath of its completion and supervision. The Acting VC disclosed that despite the few challenges and bottlenecks that may be associated with construction works of this nature, Arch. Koinyan showed dedication, resilience and team work to get the job to the finishing point and in good time.

Prof. Arinze-Umobi disclosed that her administration is making effort to ensure that more hostels are built through Federal Government intervention as well as through benefactors and friends of the University. The Acting VC urged the students who will be accommodated in the new hostel to put the facility into good use.

The contractor in his remarks while handing over the keys to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, commended the University management for the support he enjoyed during the period of construction of the hostel. Arch Koinyan affirmed that despite some challenges in the course of the construction work, he is grateful that the issues were resolved amicably and professionally.

Arch. Koinyan assured that the gigantic hostel complex was well built and would stand the test of time.

In a vote of thanks, the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Makodi Biereenu-Nnabugwu assured that the hostel will be occupied by the students. Prof. Biereenu-Nnabugwu stated that naming of the hostel after Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will serve as a huge inspiration to the students while the scholar thanked the Vice-Chancellor for the opportunity to serve.

Highpoints of the occasion were the official handing over of the keys by the contractor to the Acting Vice-Chancellor as well as the formal handing over of the key from UNIZIK Acting VC to the Dean of Student Affairs.

Also present during the event were the University's Acting Registrar, Mr. Victor Modebelu; University Bursar, Mr. Gozie Egwuatu; the Chief Safety Officer, Chief Ken Chukwurah; the University Orator, Prof. Frank-Collins Okafor; Director of Physical Planning, Engr. Ralph Okeke; Director of Procurement, Arch. Damian Oduche; Acting Director of Works, Engr. Joseph Chudi; Director of Information and Public Relations/Chief Protocol Officer; Barr. Louis Njelita; Deputy Director of Physical Planning, Engr. Lawrence Ezeokafor; Arch. Shittu Owolabi and Engr. Martins Nwoye.

Poor reporting. They should have shown the building.

Thanks to mama Ngozi for her good gesture. May God continue to enlarge her.
Education is key in Nigeria and all hands need to be on derk to make sure our educational system doesn't fail

But please where are the pics of the building nau??

Very soon ,it will be renamed olamide badoo hostel

This is commendable.

If every successful person is remembered at home like this, Nigeria would be a better place for all because everyone would be motivated to do great!

Good one for a great name for us

Is it a spiritual hostel that was handed over?


Or why isn't there a picture of it in op"s post?

What kind of handover is this, no building 🏫 shown Abi nah audio hostel, poor journalism

Ihavefaith333:
Hhhhhhh bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb nbbbbb. Nbbbbb HH nbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb nbbbbb

e sure me say dem don ban this guy for the next two hours 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Honestly this is what really makes sense. Build new structures, monuments ..........and name them after whoever. No bi already existing ones wey una go come dey drag-drag. Ngozi deserves more! A woman of substance.

Was seriously eager to see the building... why show us office pictures na

I hope they would be able to maintain the property. We should visit the hostel in 2 years time.

Every year graduates are sent out to labour market which is OVER saturated x100. Private sector helping with minimal pay. Public sector keep building schools. Why not build schools and also build their labour market

This is nice.
I do hope the hostel building will be maintained.

All these pictures without showing the hostel is bad reporting.

Larry koinyan was a popular name during the military regime,abi na another one?

Ibos should build projects and name it after themselves.

No one cares. But stop begging others to name projects after you.

It should be one of those Audio projects, no pictures of the building

Ngozi is still alive but they are naming a building after her if it was Tinubu our brothers will start complaining.

Where is the hostel ?

What kind of report is this , haba

God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Where in the report did they say Ngozi Iweala donated the building? The report says it was named in her name, not that she donated it.
