Outrage Over N960,000 Hostel Fee at Kwara State University Sparks Alternative Accommodation Arrangements

The newly established Kwara State University (KWASU) in Ilorin has faced backlash for charging N960,000 for a single hostel room, leading to public outrage. Parents and students expressed frustration over what they perceive as exploitative fees.

The management confirmed the high charges but later announced alternative arrangements with the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) for additional accommodation at a lower cost. This move aims to alleviate the financial burden on families and prevent discouraging enrollments due to the exorbitant hostel fees.
