A modern and well-appointed students hostel, built and donated by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to the University of Uyo, would be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, December 7.
The complex will accommodate 1,000 students (500 males and 500 females), and has modern facilities like WiFi, sports arena, food court, spacious car park, high security fence, solar lightings, etc.
The Vice Chancellor UniUyo, Professor Ndaeyo said, “We are very excited that NDDC under Mr Efiong Akwa has finally completed this hostel project which started several years ago. We look forward to receiving the President. The hostel will provide comfortable accommodation to our students”.
This would be the third major NDDC project to be commissioned by President Buhari since Mr Efiong Akwa was appointed the Commission’s Chief Executive on December 12 last year. The first was the agency’s Head Office commissioned on March 11, followed by the 176-flat police barracks in Omagwa, Port Harcourt, commissioned in September.
Within the same period also, several road and other projects across the NDDC states have also been completed and put to use by the Commission, in addition to the donation of medical equipment and consumables and garbage trucks by the NDDC to the state governments by the agency.
