Another student relayed his experience during his stay in the hostel “My first day in UNN, I could barely breathe as I stepped into Eni Njoku. The room I was assigned had more than 15 boys in it, with dangerously looking electrical connections that looked like they would explode any minute”, he tweeted.
Students expressed that because of the poor state of the hostel, they usually opt to stay off campus after staying in the hostel for a session. “ I studied in UNN and I can tell you for free that more than 80% of guys live off-campus because of boys hostels are a mess. That room you’re seeing might end up having up to 14 guys in it. I usually wondered how they survived those hostels.”, another student noted.
