The era of manual allocation of halls of residence to students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) seems to have gone. The Prof Kayode Amund-led Students Affairs office now allocates hostels to students electronically.

Rumours were rife that the Dean of Students Affairs (DSA) was determined to frustrate members of staff who wanted special preference for a particular hostel. But students of the institution, who spoke to CAMPUSLIFE, said anyone who wanted to change a system has to step on toes.

The student and members of staff who benefited from the initiative are grateful to Amund. The students hope the challenges they encountered in the exercise would be addressed.
