You'd think that a university as old as UNIBEN would have mastered its act and learnt from its past mistakes right? well that is not the case at all actually. the picture below shows students outside hall 2, a girls' hostel, throats dry from the sun kissing them right on the head as they waited to enter the hostel. I'll tell you why this has become a reoccurring event.

UNIBEN doesn't start it's hostel application early enough. it waits until the start of a new session before starting its bed allocation process. It is thus forced to provide temporary accommodation for students. Girls are sent to hall 4(a Boys' hostel) and guys sent to hall 2(a girls'hostel) and then ask everyone out when it has finished allocating bed spaces.
So girls move out for guys who were allocated spaces to occupy the hostel and vice versa. That's what's going on in the attached pictures.

Now, coupled with the fact that it doesn't start its application early, the process is riddled with so much corruption. Only those who have connections in high places are sure of anything. Most times people end up stranded, without accommodation due to the transparency lacking in the process.

More shocking, laughable actually, is the fact that this application is done online. But you don't get allocated a bed immediately after applying online. Why? then they wouldn't be able to manipulate the process now, would they? so you have to wait for a list to be pasted showing the names of those allocated bed spaces.

Well, students were asked out of temporary accommodation after pasting just a few lists.
did i mention this happens every year?


UNIBEN! maybe age doesn't equal wisdom after all

poor Dibu
I was once in your shoes.
They don't care because they've made you accept on many facets that probable hostel allocation to you is a privilege and not a right..... simply put; you're their bit ches
please endeavor to rent an apartment somewhere on/off campus to avoid getting caught in this messy cycle every year.
I heard NDDC hostel is cozy and free from such

No b small thing ohh...

Sumtimz old age don't cum wit wisdom bt wit stupidity. c d way d student arrange their load like car park...lol

haba, students aren't supposed to be treated like this!!!
No tell me say the VC has seen this

It is heart breaking. My sister applied the very first day it started but wasn't allocated a space but someone that applied a week later got and the person in question doesn't want to stay in the hostel. Now she's willing to sale her space for 40k. Something she cleared wit 8k. Wicked country.

that's even cheap unless it's not corner A or B most girls sell for between 50-60k .

Another shocking revelation. lecturers and other staff get spaces for students in agreement that these students will sell these spaces and then give half of the profit to the lecturer/staff

OP why you no go hall iv go snap dem boiz

This is disheartening... Just when I was bout to say AAU's worse...

This is terrible. This happens year after here. I experienced it when I was there. Before I decided to go off k.

This is the reason why I will never further my education in any Nigerian school.

Final year students are no more guaranteed a bed space, they collect online application fee of 1450 and yet wont allocate any space to you and wont refund after. Something have to be done to nip these corrupt practices in uniben. The school was not like this in the past 5yrears. Its been 2months after resumption and students are not yet settled.

lalasticlala seun FrontPage please

Lolz

Oops... This is bad and condemnable


For a school as prestigious as UNIBEN.....

I thought all these would have stopped by now.

CHAI SUFFER FOR NAIJA HOSTEL

Most everything in Nigeria always be odd

this is disheartening and of course the government are not aware of what happening because their children dont school there..if they school there, they would be able to bring this to their attention ..but no..if it not newyork university..it will be harvard
