UDUSOK Students Face Week-Long Power Outage Amidst Ramadan Fasting

A prolonged power outage has plunged private hostels, including Benji and Shamma, near the Uthman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto (UDUSOK), into darkness, leaving students to suffer in unbearable conditions.

The outage, which occurred over a week ago, has disrupted the daily lives of students, particularly during the sacred month of Ramadan.

Students have expressed frustration and despair, citing difficulties in accessing basic necessities like water and electricity. Many have been forced to embark on long, stressful journeys to fetch water and charge their gadgets, depleting their savings and energy.

The power outage has raised concerns about the impending Sallah celebrations, with students worrying about the prospect of spending the festive period without electricity. The situation has sparked fears of a dull and unenjoyable Sallah, with many students unable to prepare for the festivities due to the blackout.

Students have criticized the apparent neglect of landlords, who they claim have failed to address the issue promptly. The prolonged power outage has disrupted academic activities, with students struggling to cope with the situation.

The university community is eagerly awaiting a resolution to the power outage, which has severely impacted the welfare and academic pursuits of students.
