After three days of total blackouts at the Jubril Aminu and the neighbouring halls of residence, electricity supply has been restored for the residents.
The electricity was restored around 11pm on Thursday night.
The News Digest Press gathered that there was an electricity blackout since Tuesday night at Jubril Aminu hostel, Kwankwasiyya, FBI and Zamfara hostel, among others.
In an interview with Oyindamola, a 400-level student of Agriculture, he said it was not easy coping on the campus without electricity for over 40 hours.
“The thing is that without electricity lots of students can not read or engage themselves in their normal activities,” he said.
“For me, I had to go to Benji Private hostel to charge my phone and my rechargeable touch to read at night.”
Also, speaking with Mohammed Aluko, he said he left town for hostel because of high cost of transportation, but that was a bad decision.
“I was living in the town before, but due to the high cost of transportation, I had to stay in the school hostel but for over two days we didn’t have electricity, no water in my hostel and this really affected me.”
S.U Reacts
In an interview with the Chairman Caretaker Committee for Students’ Union, Mohammed Shamshudeen noted the absence of electricity in the hostels was a problem from the electricity feeder.
“The development was a fault from the electric feeder that supplies electricity around the halls of residence,” he said.
