The management of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, has announced delay in the movement of students into some halls of residence on campus.
In a statement on Tuesday by Alhaja Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, Head, Communication Unit, the university said the delay was as a result of the need to renovate the affected halls.
“The University of Lagos Management wishes to inform students of recent development regarding the Halls of Residence.
“To ensure our students were able to write their 1st Semester, 2024/2025 examinations, halls of residence were allocated free of charge even though the refurbishment of some of the halls had not been fully completed.
“Due to the high demands placed on these halls during the examination period, noticeable damages and deteriorations have been observed in some of the halls that require timely maintenance. Similarly, there are some halls still undergoing repairs to meet conducive standards for our students.
“In light of this, we kindly appeal to our dear students that movement into the affected halls of residence, for students who were allocated bed spaces there, will be delayed until necessary repairs are completed. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appeal for patience and understanding as we work to restore these halls to standard.
“However, students allocated bed spaces in any of the following halls can commence registration process in the halls from Wednesday, May 14, 2025, and move in from Saturday, May 17, 2025: Mariere, Eni-Njoku, Saburi Biobaku, Shodeinde, Makama Bida, Queen Amina and Honours.
