Suitable and qualified applicants/investors are hereby invited to manage the University-owned students’ hostels situated on the Main Campus of the University.
The University of Ilorin is a second generation University with a current student population of over 50,000. The long-term plan is to make the University fully residential with the support of private investors who are encouraged to Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) within an agreed period. This idea is fast yielding positive results, as a number of these investors already have their presence on campus with structures accommodating over 6,000 students. The University owned hostels are 5 in number and are run on a village system (from Village I to Village V) with a little close to 4,000 bed space capacity.
