University of Abuja Warns Students Against Illegal Selling of Bed Spaces and Racketeering

The University of Abuja has issued a stern warning to its undergraduate students regarding the illegal selling of bed spaces and racketeering.

The warning comes as the school management prepares to announce the date for hostel occupancy, expected to be in the first week of January 2025.

According to the university's students' affairs division, buying and selling of bed spaces is a fraudulent activity that has been constantly warned against. Students are advised to refrain from engaging in such activities and to abide by the rules and regulations of the university community.

The warning serves as a reminder to students of the consequences of engaging in illegal activities, including rustication and other disciplinary actions. In a similar incident in 1991, a student at another university was queried by the Senate for selling their bed space and was almost rusticated.

Students are urged to take this warning seriously and to prioritize their academic pursuits over any form of illegality. The university management is committed to maintaining a conducive learning environment and will not tolerate any form of fraudulent activity.
