Pursuant to our recent announcement on hostel balloting and allocation for the new academic session, we write to keep you abreast on the revised charges for University-owned hostels.

Adhering to the set rules of the University Administration on increments in housing fees on Campus; With the Private hostels on Campus having 12.5% increment on last session’s hostel charges, additional ₦28,000 and ₦10,000 for Utilities and Caution fees respectively. We’ve received notification of 10% increment on last session’s hostel charges for the University-owned hostels and additional ₦28,000 as Utilities fee.

Owing to this increment, bedspaces made available for ₦40,000 and ₦55,000 during last session will now be charged for ₦72,000 and ₦88,000 consequently. While our colleagues from the Faculty of Basic Clinical Sciences and Clinical Sciences will now pay a total sum of ₦108,664 (Utilities fee inclusive) for 12 months, contrary to 9 months charges for our colleagues at the Permanent Site.

As a responsible Union, considering the inflated economy of the country and ensuring education is made affordable for our colleagues, we’ve initiated meetings with the University Administration to represent the interests of all Smart Unilorites and we are hopeful that our negotiations will yield reduction in these charges. 

Rest assured, we are committed to providing regular updates as we look forward to positive feedback from the University Administration.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this challenging time.
