Kogi State University, Kabba, Faces Accommodation Crisis

The Management of OkunVoice has expressed concern over the high cost of rent within the Kogi State University, Kabba, environment, urging the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. K.I.T. Eniola, to address the issue.

According to a statement, the university had announced a proposed hostel facility from Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, but it has not been made available to students, exacerbating the accommodation crisis. OkunVoice suggests renovating old Technical College hostels as a temporary solution .

The appeal prioritizes students' welfare, safety, and academic stability. The university has explored public-private partnerships for student housing development, with Governor Ahmed Ododo approving N8 billion for infrastructural projects, including hostels .
