Advent Integrated Services unveils 1,128-bed hostel in LASU

An infrastructure renewal and development firm, Advent Integrated Services Ltd, in partnership with the Lagos State Government, the Lagos State University, and other stakeholders through a Public-Private Partnership has completed a new 1,128-bed purpose-built student accommodation at the university.

The firm, in a statement made available to The PUNCH on Sunday, said the hostel is aimed at meeting the housing needs of students and facilitating the university’s transition to a more residential model.

The Managing Director of Advent Integrated Services Ltd, Goke Dokun, emphasised that this partnership was crucial for addressing the housing shortage while fostering an environment conducive to academic success.

He noted that the facilities were meticulously designed to meet students’ daily needs, ensuring quality, secure, and comfortable living spaces.

The newly finished hostel, he said, boasts modern amenities, including furnished rooms with en-suite bathrooms, study and common areas, a launderette, convenience stores, cafeterias, recreational spaces, and internet access.

Dokun highlighted that the project aims not only to enhance learning but also to improve the overall student experience, preparing graduates to tackle future challenges and contribute to economic growth.

He attributed the project’s success to the Lagos State Government’s proactive engagement with the private sector in infrastructure development, noting that the project, funded by the Nigeria Infrastructure Debt Fund, utilised a sustainable financing model that overcame typical funding challenges, ensuring timely completion.
