UNIABUJA Ready For Academic Activities On The 23rd As Phase1 Part Of The Renovation Completes Our great citadel of learning UNIABUJA for the past two months now have been under renovation. Our correspondent Abdulsalam Hamza tells us with great pleasure in this interview with the consultant of all the ongoing projects, Engineer Ahmed that the school will be ready for academic activities on monday, the 24th of november as most of the contractors will be handing over to the school on friday, the 21st of November. With the level of the work, do you think the hostels and classrooms will be ready for academic activities on or before 23rd? Of course, sure! The hostels, classrooms and lecture halls can be ready for activities on monday as most of the contractors will be handing over to the school this coming friday. Which other areas of the renovation need major attention? None, most of the major work have been done. Thats why i told you that by Friday, most of the contractors will be handing over so students can come in on monday. Not certain of the specific figure of the funds, but what is enough to fund the project? Sure it was, the bill was given to the school and then it was passed before work commenced. Materials used for the project, of which quality are they? The materials are of high quality. Stating confidently. You know contractors always act like one as some of them tried to use inferior materials on Sunday taking advantage of our absence. They actually bought the materials without our consent. On realizing this, we rejected the materials and stood our grounds. When you check some parts of the boys hostel and girls hostel, youll find the unused materials there...he stated. Finally, sir after the completion of the of the renovation, do you think the standard of the university will match up to the likes of OAU, ABU? Yes, definitely. The renovation we are talking about is even in phases. If you notice, some buildings are not yet captured but will be in subsequent phases of the renovation. Finally he ended the interview by saying the whole place will be cleared on friday making the environment ready for learning. Engaging in some other talks after the interview, he drew my attention to the brick walls of the geography block,science block and law block telling me how the walls were sprayed with acids and other chemicals and paints applied to areas needed. Because truthfully, the walls look neat and new. He also added, by praising the VC, professor Michael Umale Adikwu for a job well done so far.
