LASU hostel project inauguration
"It remains one of the most ambitious and transformative projects undertaken during my time as the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education," Wahab expressed.
The project, executed through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) arrangement, involved seven reputable investors who believed in the vision of a better, more accommodating educational environment.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu education projects
Wahab commended the unwavering leadership of Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, whose continuous support was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition.
"Proud of the work done here and to have been a part of this special one," Wahab wrote on X, his words echoing the collaborative spirit that defined the initiative.
He acknowledged the relentless efforts of the Lagos State Office of Public-Private Partnerships, the management staff of LASU led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, and other key stakeholders.
Commitment to Education
The sprawling structure stands as a testament to the state government's commitment to leveraging public-private partnerships to address critical infrastructure needs in the education sector.
"Through the grace of God and the unwavering support and dedication of all involved, the first phase of this landmark project has now been completed," Wahab noted.
