Femi Otedola, the chairman of Geregu Power Plc and director of FBN Holdings Plc, was officially appointed as the Chancellor of Augustine University on Thursday.

The businessman, who shared this information through his official Instagram page, additionally donated N1 million to each of the 750 students at the University, acknowledging the prevailing challenging economic conditions.

“He wrote: “Today, I was inaugurated as the Chancellor of Augustine University.
I strongly believe in transforming establishments that I am associated with.

“Therefore, to commemorate my appointment and in recognition of the harsh economic situation in our country, I gave a gift of One Million to each of the Seven Hundred and Fifty Students.

“I hope this donation of Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira assists the plight of the parents of our students in this difficult time.”

Otedola, who is also a significant shareholder in FBN Holdings, was appointed as the university’s chancellor on April 7, 2022.
