Photos: Student shows the state of his UNILAG hostel and how students sleep
A Twitter user has exposed a distressing condition of how students of theUniversity of Lagos (UNILAG) sleep in one of the hostels.
The photos shared by the student shows students sleeping on the floor in the middle of a very congested room as all the bunks in the hostel appear to be occupied.
This photos also show that regardless of what you have to do in the midnight, you would have to climb over a sleeping body and if you are not very careful you could get injured.
The Twitter user revealed that the photo was taken in Jaja Hall, University of Lagos. He added that the rooms are “dominated by squatters that have no other options because the university doesn’t have enough bed spaces to accommodate students.”
He went on to reveal that he sleeps on a “slab” as no bed space was allocated to him.

Sharing the photos, student Akorede Ayanbisi wrote: “A view of how we live in the school hostel, and after all these struggles and suffering to get the degree, the labour market isn’t even assured. E go be.”
He added: “This is Jaja Hall, University of Lagos. A 6 man room dominated by squatters that have no other options because the university doesn’t have enough bed spaces to accommodate students. And apartments off-campus is very expensive, they cost between 300k to 700k per session.
“What if I tell you guys this is my own space, I balloted for bed space but I didn’t get. I have no option than to sleep on a slab because the school has limited bed spaces and apartments off-campus cost between 400k to 700k per session. Federal uni needs to do better.”
