A flood on Friday caused severe damage at the University of Ibadan, destroying books, foodstuffs, documents, and other essential items belonging to students. The incident wreaked havoc in the university community, resulting in property losses valued at millions of naira.<\/p>\n

A report on Saturday morning confirmed that several hostels were submerged in the flood. Affected students reported significant damage, particularly in Awo Hostel, which appeared to be the worst hit. According to a student, who spoke under anonymity, “The most affected hall of residence is Awo Hostel, where about 16 rooms on the underground floor were completely submerged with students\u2019 property floating in the water.”<\/p>\n

Another source explained, “The students\u2019 foodstuffs, documents, and property, especially those belonging to students who went for examinations, were destroyed. The flood took over students\u2019 rooms, toilets, kitchens, and all entrances to their hostel.”<\/p>\n
