The Emeritus President LASSESA-LASU, Adetimirin Yusuf Olamilekan has constructed a fountain for Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Lagos State University (LASU) main campus in Ojo.
On why he built the fountain, the ex-LASU student said it was aimed at honouring Tinubu for blazing the trail in paying West African Senior School Certificate Examination WASSCE
And National Examination Council (NECO) exam fees for students and for introducing the One-Day Governor programme when he was Lagos State Governor.
Adetimirin appealed to the President to help with the inauguration of the project on campus. “I have been waiting for the President over 1 year ago of my graduation, to the project before I go for my service,” he said.
Describing the fountain,he said: “The Water Fountain has 4 lions which symbolise his courageous and harmonisation pedigree capacity in the North, South, West, and East.
The 2 eagles signify his tenacious eagle ability of the present and future events.His bust having a hand pointed to his head symbolises his visionary thinking capacity beyond imagination.
“All those on the fountain symbolise his struggle as the Father of Modern Democracy and a Greater Nigeria.” Adetimirin said.
