The President also directed the construction of a road linking the Body of Benchers Secretariat in Jabi District with Nile University.
The FCT Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement on Tuesday that the projects would be executed under an emergency consideration.
He disclosed that one female hostel and one male hostel, each with a capacity for 300 occupants, would be constructed to provide accommodation for students of the school.
