After donating N2 billion for the first phase last year, Mr Femi Otedola has donated N3.7 billion towards the construction of phase 2 of the engineering faculty building at Augustine University in Epe Lagos. The billionaire businessman said the project is set to be completed within 12 months. 
Otedola who is the chancellor of the Catholic-owned university spoke at the 6th convocation ceremony on Tuesday. The convocation was attended by prominent dignitaries, including Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, religious leaders, and university officials.
In his address, Otedola honoured the academic and character development of the university’s graduating class. He thanked the university’s leadership, faculty, and staff for their role in shaping the graduates.
He expressed his desire to see Augustine University emerge as a centre of excellence for engineering studies.
The chancellor’s donation of N3.7 billion follows the completion of phase 1 of the engineering faculty building also funded by him. The new phase 2 project, he said, is expected to further enhance the university’s capacity to train future engineers.
