Wetin concern conductor with overload? They should rather concern themselves with the status of their CGPA. So it is not possible for the university to occupy the new building and convert the other two into offices which are never enough in every typical university?
No wonder we have unemployable graduates in Nigeria, when they concern themselves with issues that are far from academic. The building looks quite aesthetic though.

This proposed building though looks good. But It might just be nicer without that ship structure. This project could cost close to a billion naira.
