The Registrar of the University of Ilorin, Mr. Emmanuel Obafemi, said more
than 7,000 bed-spaces in the institution’s
hostels were available for occupation by fresh and returning students.
Obafemi disclosed
this on Tuesday while speaking with newsmen at the University.
He explained that no
fewer than 7000 students would have access to accommodation this session,
compared to the 3000 that secured on-campus accommodation
in the last academic session.
He said the
University management’s drive to ensure that all students secured comfortable
hostel accommodation within the campus had started yielding results.
The Registrar said
that all the hostels that were commissioned during the just-concluded
convocation of the university were ready for occupation.
He said that more
hostels were being constructed by private developers “who feel the pain of the
students”.
On the number of candidates
the institution planned to admit for the 2016/2017academic
session, the Registrar disclosed that the university had the capacity to admit
about 10,000 candidates only.
According to him, the
management of the University was determined to admit more candidates but that
the directive from the National
Universities Commission (NUC) and
the guidelines of the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) allowed for 10,000, only.
