UNIBEN lauds Daisy Danjuma over construction of female hostel
The University of Benin, Edo State, has said that Senator Daisy Ehanire-Danjuma was the donor of the newly inaugurated girls’ hostel in the institution.
It added that she was undertaking the construction of a second hostel.
The university made the clarification in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Dr Benedicta Ehanire, on Friday in Benin City.
“While Daisy’s husband, retired Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, donated a hostel in 2023, the one inaugurated a few days ago, was given by the wife,” the statement stated.
According to the statement, the first hostel was donated by the elder statesman, while the second – inaugurated a few days ago – came from Daisy, known for her passion for girl-child education.
“It is that passion for girl-child education that is motivating Daisy into these kind gestures,” the statement indicated.
It said that the university would remain eternally grateful to Mrs Daisy for the kindness and regretted the wrong report that claimed that the hostel was an additional one from Danjuma, her husband.
