Otedola Donates N2billion Engineering Complex to University Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, donated a complex to the Augustine University’s engineering faculty that’s reportedly worth about N2billion
Speaking at the event, Otedola said, like his father, he was passionate about education and development of the country. “My father was very passionate about a university being built in Epe”.
“So, it is with this project – I want all my friends to know – because the hand of God is in it. It is a worthy cause. My mother persistently encouraged me to support the Augustine University project. Subsequently, I decided to build an engineering faculty for the university – which would be my home – for the glory of God. I can assure you that this project will be completed in good time,” Otedola explained.
The university which began operation in 2015, is already running at least eight courses subscribed to by 200 students up to 400-level.
