President Bola Tinubu has directed Nyesom Wike, the minister of federal capital territory (FCT), to immediately commence the construction of two hostels of 300 capacity each for the Nigerian Law School, Abuja.

Lere Olayinka, Wike’s senior special assistant on public communications and social media, announced the directive in a statement on Tuesday.

Olayinka said the hostels at the law school would consist of one female hostel with capacity for 300 occupants and another 300-capacity male hostel to provide accommodation for students.

He said the president also directed the construction of the road linking the Body of Benchers secretariat, Jabi district with Nile University.

Olayinka said the projects will be executed under “emergency consideration”.
