Hostels for many a university student is ordinarily relief from home. But across many higher institutions in the country it is one sad tale or the other. The story of hostel life in Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University in Lapai, Niger State, is all too farmilair for those who have had to school and live in a public university in Nigeria.
To say the least, the state of hostel facilities in IBBUL is deplorable. The hostels lack basic amenities such as clean water, proper sanitation, and electricity.
