The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has warned students involved in hostel racketeering that severe sanctions will be imposed, including suspension ranging from one to two semesters. The Dean of Students Affairs, Professor Musa Obalola, stated that the management is deeply concerned about the activities of students who illegally sell bed spaces and squatting slots within university hostels.
According to Professor Obalola, the practice thrives largely because students occupying official hostels do not pay "economic rent." The university has strengthened monitoring mechanisms, including the issuance of hostel identity cards and random checks by staff.
