Femi Otedola Donates N3.7B To Expand Augustine University Engineering Facility by chopnaira: 5:05am On Oct 25
Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist, Femi Otedola, has announced a donation of N3.7 billion towards the construction of a new building for the Engineering Faculty at Augustine University, Ilara Epe.

The announcement was made during the university’s 6th convocation ceremony, where Otedola, who serves as the institution’s Chancellor, emphasized his commitment to supporting education and the development of a world-class engineering program at the university.

In his address, Otedola expressed pride in the university’s growth and outlined his vision of establishing Augustine University as a center of excellence in engineering studies. He stated that the contract for the Phase 2 building is nearly complete, and construction is expected to be finalized within the next 12 months.

“I am pleased to announce the donation of the Phase 2 building for the Engineering Faculty at a cost of N3.7 billion,” Otedola said. “By God’s grace, I hope to be with you this time next year to inaugurate the completed building.”

This donation follows Otedola’s completion of Phase 1 of the Engineering Faculty, further cementing his commitment to the institution’s development.
He pledged N140 million for the furnishing of the completed Engineering faculty building and another N110 million for the installation of street lights around the campus and a new standby generating set.


This expansion aims to accommodate the university’s growing student population and provide cutting-edge facilities for engineering education.

Otedola also highlighted the importance of fostering intellectual and moral excellence among students, aligning with the university’s mission of producing graduates who are not only skilled but also grounded in integrity and service to society.

The donation marks another significant milestone in Otedola’s long-standing support for educational initiatives across Nigeria.

Good one from Him. Just that I'm slightly confused about the furnishings of the building , N140m to furnish the building but N110 for street lights.
I hope say no be just office blocks. Because engineering requires, labs , workshops and computing centers for the real innovation to take place. So we don't continue churning out unemployable graduates.
All the same kudos , it's still a good one .

I have also been donating to the cause of St. Augaustin University for the past ten years, without failing. Every Catholic Church in the Lagos archdiocese is required to collect second offerings on every second Sunday of the month for the support of the university.

Just hearing about this university for this first time, anyways weldone Mr Femi

However, I think the Nigerian govt and other concerned individuals like otedola should actually focused on equipping Nigerians with skills that will help them thrive in the manufacturing industry, agriculture, etc.

There should be an industrial revolution, of what use if donating 3billion naira to a university when their graduates are not even assured or job employment upon graduation.

We have so many graduates presently who would take any job just to survive, imagine an engineering graduate, working in a bank earning 120k just to survive.

These are the cases of many Nigerians, instead
