The facility makes statement and very visible as a landmark structure from both the Bariga and Abule Oja appoaches to the main gate of the University.

The University of Lagos is the first Federal Government-owned university in Nigeria, established on October 22, 1962 by an Act of Parliament. It is a research-oriented university which places premium on innovation and sound scholarship. It parades a wide range of academic programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, offered on a full-time and part-time basis. It has three campuses which include: the Main Campus at Akoka, College of Medicine, Idi Araba, and the Radiography Campus at Yaba.

With a student population of about sixty (60) thousand, the current hostel bed spaces on the main campus is less than nine (9) thousand. This has resulted in a huge gap in hostel accommodation/bed spaces needs for students on campus. This has also resulted in constraint for the University to take on adequately, considerable number of international students.

The Femi Gbajabiamila International Students Hostel Complex comprises of 4 blocks; A , B, C, D
Each block is built on total land area of approximately 23m x 64m = 1472.0 sq.m. each. The blocks are largely structured as 4-man rooms and also with some single occupancy rooms.
• Number of 4-man rooms per Block = 57
• Number of Beds per Block = 228
• Number of Wardrobes = 114
• Number of 1-man rooms per Block = 12
• Number of Beds (1-man Rm) per Block = 12
• Number of Wardrobes (1-man Rm) = 12
Other facilitities provided for the student- occupiers in each block are, but not limited to the following:
• Furnished Common Room =1. The common room is furnished with 15nos double seater chairs with a fairly big smart TV.
• Furnished Reading Rooms = 4. The reading rooms are furnished with tables and chairs for maximum of 48 users at once.
• Each hostel Block is provided with 1no Buttery to provide for some of the daily needs of residents.
• Each block of Hostel has 13no kitchennettes where the students can also cook for themselves.
• All rooms are provided with ceiling fans for the comfort of residents.
Apart from the above listed, 8no 10,000 litres each, surface water tanks have been provided to boost and guarranttee adequately treated water supply from the University mains. The complex will be connected to the University power grid.

With the completion of this project, international students from different countries and different cultural backgrounds will also find this Hostel to be “HOME AWAY FROM HOME” as the facility is expected to provide affordable housing for students under a harmonised, diversed socio-cultural atmosphere, with students sharing common areas, lounges, kitchennettes and bathrooms.
Hostel life is indeed a great way to make new friends worldwide and to learn about different cultures. We are looking forward to all students who will be previledged to be housed in this magnificient facility to experience this.
The Femi Gbajabiamila Hall of Residence is a support to the University of Lagos by the Chief of Staff to the President, a distinguished alumnus of the university. The project began with a groundbreaking ceremony in January 2021 when he was the Speaker of the House of Representatives..

The President emphasized that his commitment to enhance investment promotion while creating a rules-based society that favours no individual over the law begins with important reforms in the Nigerian judiciary, the funding for which is captured in the 2024 Appropriation Act.

“Funding the judiciary is a major element in our effort to support a just, rules-based society. Statutory transfer to the Judiciary has been increased from 165 billion naira to 342 billion naira,” the President said.

Some of the key estimates are capital expenditure, N10 trillion; recurrent expenditure, N8.8 trillion; debt service, N8.2 trillion, and statutory transfers, N1.7 trillion.

May his soul rest in peace 🕊️

I MOURN MY FEARLESS BROTHER, ROTIMI AKEREDOLU

It is a difficult task to have to pen a tribute and sing a dirge for a departing soul. It is a more difficult job in our African culture when one is compelled to do so for a younger person. Here am I having the difficult job of singing a dirge for Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, my beloved brother, confidant, political soulmate, and the Executive Governor of Ondo State.

It is an impossible task to fully capture in words Rotimi’s towering figure and his human essence. Rotimi was a man who moved our nation towards equity, fairness and justice in his strident advocacy against every form of injustice in our country through the instrumentality of the law as a senior advocate, attorney-general of his beloved state, as President of the Nigerian Bar Association and Governor of Ondo State.

In a challenging moment of our statehood when marauding agents of darkness spread their tentacles across our country, Rotimi was a strong voice in wilderness calling us to rethink our security architecture so we can have a more secure nation. His unrelenting advocacy led to the birth of the local police in the South West.

Rotimi was a man of ideas and action. While he was with us, he taught us the power of action and service. In Ondo State, where he had the honour to serve as the Governor over the past six years, he served his people with absolute loyalty, dedication, and forthrightness. His footprints dot the entire landscape of the state through the hundreds of kilometres of roads he built, the many schools he built, and healthcare facilities that he provided. During the dark hours when marauding agents of darkness visited the state and killed defenceless citizens where 40 worshippers of the Catholic Church of Owo were killed on June 5, 2022, Rotimi’s leadership qualities as a true statesman and compassionate leader radiated brightly to the world. He was a mourner-in-chief who guided his people through an agonising period. Today, I mourn a fighter and fearless defender of truth and the masses.

My personal journey with Rotimi started as joint members of the progressive family. We fought many battles together to restore progressive governance in the South West, Edo State, and Nigeria as a whole. During this uncertain period, Rotimi was resolute and unflinching. He showed uncommon courage as a member of our legal team in our battles to reclaim our stolen mandates in Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, and Osun States. A gallant lawyer and one of the finest of the legal profession. I beckoned on him to contest for the governorship position of Ondo State in 2012. Even though he did not make it in his first attempt, his enthusiasm and determination to serve his people never diminished. He eventually made it to the Alagbaka Government House in his second attempt in the 2016 election, Since he was sworn in in February 2017, he had served the people with devotion.

Rotimi has played his role well and left us untimely. We will never see his likes again. Let me tell the people of Ondo State that I am grieving with you. We will honour Rotimi's memory and make sure his legacy of service is never forgotten.

In my grief and sadness, I have telephoned his wife, Betty, and Acting Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to commiserate with them and urge them to take heart over this national tragedy.

Governor Akeredolu was not just a friend and associate, the departed leader was a brother and a soulmate.

His death is a blow to our governing APC and the progressive family as we are diminished by it.

I hope that his successor Aiyedatiwa will hold steadfast to the vision of governance left by this towering political leader.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered an investigation into the alleged misconduct of some officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border. This decision comes after Moyo Okediji, a professor of African art from the University of Texas, Austin, shared his experience on Facebook. Okediji claimed that he was extorted and robbed of over $500 by NIS personnel when he entered Nigeria through Ghana.

According to Okediji, the NIS officials stopped him for a search and demanded $40 as a bribe for traveling with an expired Nigerian passport. The minister has taken this allegation seriously and has initiated an investigation into the matter.

The probe aims to uncover the truth surrounding the incident and ensure that such misconduct is not tolerated within the ranks of the NIS. The minister has expressed his commitment to maintaining the integrity and professionalism of the Nigerian immigration service.

The outcome of the investigation will determine the appropriate disciplinary action to be taken against the officials involved. This move demonstrates the government's dedication to tackling corruption and ensuring the accountability of public officials.
