The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has announced the activation of its hostel accommodation application portal for the second batch of bed-space allocations for the 2026/2027 academic session.
According to the university's notice, the portal for bed-space allocation through the “Fastest Finger” mode was scheduled to open on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
Interested students have been advised to take note of the scheduled activation time and prepare to apply for available bed spaces.
The university also warned that any allocated bed space that is not cleared through payment and completion of the required documentation within two days of allocation will be withdrawn and reallocated to another student.
In addition, UNIBEN reiterated its ban on prohibited electrical appliances and other items in student hostels.
The prohibited items include:
- Hot plates.
- Microwave ovens.
- Washing machines.
- Electric kettles.
- Gas cookers.
The university warned that students who violate the ban risk rustication or expulsion.
Students seeking hostel accommodation have therefore been advised to complete their payments and documentation within the stipulated period and comply with the university's hostel regulations to avoid losing their allocations or facing disciplinary action.
