Worth considering is the need for the University to invest in preventive maintenance. The University of Ibadan must consider a reduction of the long-term costs of major repairs and ensure that facilities remain functional. As Nigeria’s premier university, the institution should be a place where students succeed and learn to, not merely adapt, moreso to a condition that reduces their humanity. The general dilapidated infrastructure, filthy restrooms, and rampant bedbug infestations, which have turned our hostels into breeding grounds for health hazards, are nothing to be proud of. These issues are the bad images the University Senate should be bothered about.
