Danjuma donates second girls’ hostel to UNIBEN

For the second time in 15 months, the family of a former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd), has donated an ultramodern girls hostel to the University of Benin.

In her remarks at the inauguration of the hostel on Wednesday, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Lilian Salami, said the edifice, named after the matriarch of the family, Daisy Danjuma, demonstrated a belief in girlchild and the development.

She said, “We are here to celebrate someone who is just marvellous. I say so with no reservation. How can someone sit in her quiet corner and continue to give, if not someone whom God has created to impact humanity? When we started with the first hostel, we just visited Daisy and General Theophilus Danjuma asked us what we wanted from the family.
