TETFund Flags Off Construction of 300-Metre Road at ADUN

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has flagged off the construction of a 300-metre road at Admiralty University of Nigeria (ADUN), Ibusa.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Christopher Ogobogbo, disclosed this during an interaction with members of the University’s Information, Communication and Protocol Unit.

Prof. Ogobogbo said the intervention followed his visit to TETFund over security concerns at the University in the previous year.

He also disclosed that TETFund had approved a special project allocation for completing the perimeter fencing of the institution.

Speaking on the road project, the Vice-Chancellor said its completion would open up the area for further campus development.

He added that the road would facilitate the movement of staff, students and other members of the University community within the axis.

Prof. Ogobogbo explained that the provision of a pedestrian walkway would encourage members of the University community to use the road instead of the lounge.

He commended the TETFund management for its support to tertiary institutions nationwide and, particularly, its interventions at Admiralty University.

The Vice-Chancellor specifically appreciated the TETFund Executive Secretary, Arc. Sonny Echono, and the Director of Strategic Planning and Development, Arc. Erivwo Inene.

Earlier, the Project Engineer, Engr. Oyi Abdulazeez, said all materials and equipment required for the project were already available at the site.

He attributed the slow pace of construction to the rainy season but assured that work would progress steadily.

Abdulazeez said the project was expected to be completed within three months and delivered in November 2026.

He explained that the road would extend from the existing road near the University’s generator house.

According to him, it would pass through the Vice-Chancellor’s Lodge and connect with the existing road near the male and female hostels.

The engineer said the road was designed to serve the University community for the next 50 years.

He assured that the materials and specified measurement ratios being used met the required standards for the project.

Abdulazeez also commended the University’s commitment to security, saying the presence of military and security personnel had created a safe working environment.

The road features a length of 300 metres, a width of six metres, functional drainage, a culvert and a pedestrian walkway.
