Studying at Lagos State University may get easier following the announcement of the state governor- Babjide Sanwo-Olu. Plans have been made and partnerships signed, for the erection of the first-ever bed-space accommodation in the school. The governor made this announcement via his Twitter handle.

This turn of event comes 36 years after Lagos State University existing as a non-residential university.

The 8,200 bed-space hostel accommodation will be built in partnership with 6 private developers and is expected to be ready for use within the next 18 months. The hostel, when completed, will accommodate 30% of the 26,000 student-population. You may argue that this is not much, but for a school that has no existing accommodation arrangements, it’s something.

Many people have reacted to this news commending the state governor for this initiative. Some alumni of the university have gone on to share their experiences living off-campus, with one recounting how his brother was shot twice during a robbery in their off-campus hostel.
