Two boreholes constructed and donated by the Koinonia Global Family at the old male and new female hostels to serve the students of the University of Abuja were commissioned on Friday, 19 June 2026.

The project, undertaken in honour of Apostle Joshua Selman on the occasion of his birthday, is expected to help meet water needs in the male and female hostels and enhance the welfare of students residing on campus.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Rosemary Udeozor, who represented the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Hakeem Babatunde Fawehinmi, at the event, expressed appreciation to the Koinonia Global Family for the gesture and prayed for God's continued blessings upon the donor and the entire University community.

She urged the representatives of the ministry to convey the University's gratitude to Apostle Joshua Selman, noting that the project would remain a lasting testimony to service and generosity.

Speaking on behalf of the donor, Lady Sandra Areh, said the project was inspired by the teachings and example of Apostle Joshua Selman, whose life and ministry have impacted millions of people around the world.
