Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullah Umar Ganduje and the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu among other dignitaries will on Tuesday make it to the University of Ibadan for the commissioning of 500-seater Ganduje auditorium and large lecture theatre built and donated by the Governor.
This is according to a press release statement the media assistant to the Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Sunday Saanu published on his social media handle on Sunday. The statement reads as thus:
“Governor Ganduje who is an alumnus of the University of Ibadan where he bagged his PhD in Public Administration in 1993 had said that his doctorate degree in the University of Ibadan some 30 years ago equipped him for the giant strides he was able to accomplish in all spheres of life, hence the donation.

“The 500-seater is for the department of Basic Medical Sciences which had hitherto suffered inadequacy of lecture theatre.
“A reliable source in the University of Ibadan Alumni Association which facilitated the project under the leadership of the immediate past president worldwide, prof. Elsie Adewoye, hinted that all arrangements were being finalized to unveil the project on Tuesday.
“It will be recalled that last year, UI Pro-Chancellor, and chairman of the governing council, chief John Odigie-Oyegun, had described the action of the Governor of Kano state as an exemplary and exceptional act of benevolence towards his Alma Mater when the sod of the project was to be turned.”
The media aid to the Vice-Chancellor, UI, also noted that finishing touches were being put into the project on Saturday when several pictures of the project were taken.
