The Deputy Director-General of the Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School, Mrs Toun Adebiyi, said this on Monday after the campus’ version of the 50th Anniversary Lecture and Celebration of the Nigerian Law School.
Five other campuses of the NLS in Abuja, Enugu, Yenagoa, Yola, Kano are to mark the anniversary locally ahead of the grand finale, which is to hold in Aabuja campus on November 27.
Adebiyi, who spoke with journalists after the lecture on Monday, said the project, which was about 80 per cent complete when it was abandoned 24 years ago, would go a long way in resolving the accommodation problems on the campus when completed.
Tinubu, who was said to be attending the first year remembrance of the late former governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Lam Adeshina, in Ibadan, was represented at the NLS event by the National Legal Adviser of the APC, Dr. Muiz Banire.
Adebiyi said though she could not tell when exactly the Tinubu’s intervention in the hostel project would start, she was however sure that it was going to be soon.
She said, “It was what we took to him (Tinubu) when we met him over the needs of the campus and he promised to help out. The project was 80 per cent complete when it was abandoned. I was so happy when he promised to do it for us. I know it is going to be soon.”
Earlier, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), had during the event, called on stakeholders to invest in the Nigerian Law School as an enduring legacy of all legal practitioners.
