Subsidy Removal: Unilorin To Provide Free Data To Staff – VC

Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof.Wahab Egbewole In order to mitigate the effects of the removal of fuel subsidies, stated on Monday that plans were being made to offer free data to university staff members.

This was said by Egbewole in an interview in Ilorin with newsmen to mark his first year in office.

He reaffirmed the administration’s dedication to the wellbeing of the institution’s faculty, staff, and students in an effort to increase their productivity.

The vice chancellor stated that his administration was looking into every option to make sure that both university employees and students had the best possible time while on campus.

He mentioned how the institution’s staff and students had been impacted by the nation’s dire economic situation.

In order to lessen the effects of the removal of the gasoline subsidy, which had decreased the purchasing power of the naira, Egbewole gave the university community his word that his administration would do everything possible.

In order to ensure that staff and students commute to and from the institution smoothly and affordably, he claimed that a rail project connecting the university campus with the town was being pursued.

He claims that efforts are also being made to ensure that transporters deploy more commercial buses to improve the flow of students and staff members to and from the campus.

The vice chancellor claimed that the road system inside the university’s staff housing at the Government Reservation Area (GRA) had been renovated.

He also mentioned that a portion of the main road on the institution’s main campus had been renovated to make transportation easier.

In relation to hostel lodging, Egbewole stated that management had been working to make sure that more bed spaces were provided for students.

He continued by saying that initiatives would be taken to guarantee that 1,500 extra bed spaces would be available as soon as possible.

The university has secured a N500 million grant from Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) toward the building of a hostel that would provide more bed spaces for the students.

“Private sectors are also being encouraged to invest more in the provision of more hostel accommodation for the students of the university,” the vice-chancellor said.
