UNILORIN PG Students To Construct Hostel Worth N100 Million

The postgraduate students of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has concluded plans to construct a hostel worth N100 million in the institution for the accommodation of PG students.

This was made known by the President, Postgraduate Students Association of UNILORIN, Mr. Adebola Moses, who said that the postgraduate students of the university needed accommodation they could call their own.

Adebola added that the association will organise a N100 million fundraiser for the construction of the hostel accommodation and urged members of the society to support the association.

In his reaction, the Vice-Chancellor of Unilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, acknowledged the accommodation challenge on campus.

“The population of students on campus is close to 30,000, but the number of hostels available on campus can hardly accommodate one-third of the students’ population.

“It is, therefore, important that universities welcome individuals who are ready to invest in accommodation on their campuses.

“So, it is not out of place if the postgraduate students of this university deem it wise to raise fund for the building of hostel,” he said.

The Dean of Postgraduate School, Prof. Clement Bewaji, expressed appreciation of the association’s efforts and urged them to be diligent in their work knowing that such efforts would be rewarded.
