The Dean of Student Affairs (DSA), Professor Musa Obalola, has announced that the application process for hostel accommodation for the first semester practicals and examinations of the 2024/2025 academic session will begin on Sunday, February 9, 2025, and will close on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. This process is restricted to penultimate students of the University of Lagos.
In a notice issued on February 8, 2025, the DSA specified that students who have completed their course registration for the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic session, are within the regular duration of their respective programs, and have paid all approved fees (such as LAGMOBILE, etc.) will be eligible to apply for beds spaces.
Prof. Obalola encouraged students to apply for hostel accommodation during the designated application window, noting that bed spaces will be allocated randomly via a balloting system amongst all eligible applicants after the application window closes.
On whether students will pay a fee for the accommodation, the dean said that the accommodation is totally free and no one is expected to pay. He also encouraged students who may not get an accommodation to squat with their friends in cooperation with the hostel management team.
He warned that students who reside in El-Kanemi, Women Society, Gbajabiamila and other hostels in this category are not allowed to participate in the exercise.
“Students in El-Kannemi hall, Gbajabiamila, Women Society and other hostels in this category around campus are not eligible to participate in the balloting. Be informed that we have the list of students living in these hostels and any student who violates this will be made to face the Students’ Disciplinary Board for social misconduct”, Prof. Obalola said.
From all of us at UNILAG Sun, we wish y’all a successful exam this semester.
