Ado-Ekiti poly alumni inaugurates N150m hostels

The Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti Alumni Association, has inaugurated and handed over a N150 million two blocks of completed hostel building to the management of the institution for the use of students.

The national president of the association, Abiodun Oyedokun, while speaking with newsmen,  lamented the inadequate hostel facilities to accommodate students of the institution and appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and old students to assist.

Oyedokun, noted the pains of the students who majorly resided off-campus and the attendant transport crisis; saying the alumni determined to ensure all students lived on campus.

He disclosed that the alumni would also commence  the construction of a 39-room two-storey hostel building estimated to cost N800 million to be named after Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, a former governing council chairman of the institution, who he said had impacted positively on the school.

“This school is strongly in need of hostels and classrooms. Right now, the population of FPA students is about 15,000. The accommodation that the school has at present cannot contain them. We want our students to be resident on campus,” he said.
