President Bola Tinubu has approved the construction of 600-capacity hostels for the Nigerian Law School, Abuja, and the Body of Benchers Secretariat Road.
Tinubu directed the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to immediately commence the construction of two hostels of 300 capacity each for the Nigerian Law School, Abuja.
The President also directed the construction of the road linking the Body of Benchers Secretariat, Jabi District, with Nile University.
The projects are expected to be executed under emergency consideration, a statement by the media aide to the minister, Lere Olayinka, revealed on Tuesday.
According to the statement, one female hostel with a capacity for 300 occupants and another 300-capacity male hostel will be constructed in the Nigerian Law School, Abuja, to provide accommodation for students of the school.
The road linking the Body of Benchers Secretariat with Nile University, when completed, is expected to ease traffic congestion on the road leading to the head office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
