UPDATE ON PRE-POST ON OPENING OF CINEMA/EVENT CENTER in BENIN CITY

Much earlier today, i posted about the opening of a cinema/event center today here in Benin city of which the owner wasn't at the time surely known. Here are some interesting details about the cinema i found out and thought you should know...

 It is owned by the family of the Esama of Benin kingdom, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion
Known as Kada Cinemas and Entertainment Centre, the gigantic structure, was inaugurated today    November 11, and would provide jobs for about 500 people.

CINEMA / EVENT CENTER OPENS IN BENIN-CITY TODAY

The ancient city of Benin is gradually meeting with civilization. Only God knows how long i have waited for this to happen in our ancient city.


Though we do not truly know who has ownership to this multi-million business venture, we are simply happy beyond words that alas, a decent cinema has arrived our city *no offence to the pre-existing ones*.

Initially when construction started, some said it was owned by the silverbird group since they are known to have the biggest market in this line of business around the country. They even went has far as saying it was going to be opened 1st of October 2013 along side the celebration of the 5th year anniversary of the radio station. Now it is completed, words are going round that it is owned by the Igbinedions. Owned by the Bruces' or the Igbinedions', it is really non of my business. All that matter for now is that we have a decent cinema/event center in our city.

It is located along airport road, just beside hallmark. It is said to be officially opened for use today at about 10am this morning. So, be sure to check it out with friends and family this holiday. (until Benin people ruin the fun out of it... just saying).

UNIBEN: Medical Hostel extension?

And its a wrap. The hostel complex between medical hostel and food court (buka) has since been completed. from the look of things, this new hostel complex done by the NDDC seem to be able to house nothing less than a thousand student. 

The question now is 'what students?'. There has been speculation on which students it is suppose to house. Some say it is the medical hostel extension, others say it is 'clinical students' hostel. Now, if it is the clinical students hostel, is it for just medicine and dental students or are nursing and medical laboratory science students included?

We can only truly know when the on-going ASUU strike is called off(topic for another day)

For now, all we can do is admire and wish whatever their plan is for the hostel, it can solve the accommodation issues of medical students(basic and pure).
