“NCGF is made up of professionals from different tribes and groups, as we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to Christians and other Nigerians as well as offering humanitarian services.
“When I was discussing with the proprietor, I noticed that there is a lot of space and I was asking if all their students are living in the school, he said no and I said that it will be nice if we partner with them and build a very good hostel for the students.
“He said that they will be very willing on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement.
“The NCGF by the grace of God has the capacity to do that because we have members all over the nation who can pool their resources together and give the students a befitting accommodation.
“We are all aware that the importance of hostels in the school for students cannot be over-emphasised to development of education sector.
“We have experts and professionals. We can also be part of mentorship of these students and we can also help in offering free medical services and other skills through training,’’ he said.
Adisa called on the students to take their studies seriously to excel in their academic pursuits.
