kaorama:
Any bad news that is originating from north or south east is a hot news for nairaland moderators.
Over 24000 students in some schools not in the north or south east use
one bush as toilet.

lolaben: This is total bullish lies. I schooled there and there is no place like Asmau hostel having only six toilets. Hey this is not true

businesslawyer: I support the position that the report was malicious.

I attended that school and the school has a seperate hostel for Nursing Students, the name of d Hostel quoted belongs to the Nursing Students and after calling d pple who are in d know i was reliably informed that the Nursing students from 100L to 400L dont use the said hostel as it was reserved exclusively for 500L students who cannot be more than 120 in number. The school has a policy of not admitting more than 120 students per class. in fact it was confirmed that the hostel accomadates 2 students per room and 3 rooms has access to a toilet, meaning max of 6:1 and if the 1:20 quoted for Public Universities is correct it means this particular hostels is far better than the average.

I emphasise that I know my school very well a lot need to be done about facilities in that school and all Public schools in Nigeria but that report about the state of the toilets, public address system and magnetic board is far from the truth in fact no hostel has more than 20 students to a toilet because there is no block of hostel with more than 20 students and each block has at least one functioning toilet aside from countless Public toilets strategically built withing the campuses.

‘How graft, poor staffing, others mar public varsities’ - [url=http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/TheGuardian[/url]
NIGERIANS are mostly aware that many things are not right with the country’s public universities. But what they do not know is just how bad the situation has become.

Graphic details of the extent and dangers of the rot have emerged from the Needs Assessment Report, put together by a 10-member committee set up by the Federal Ministry of Education.

The report revealed that public universities are being grossly mismanaged; engaging in activities at variance with the National Policy on Education; lacking in human and material resources; incapable of supplying the nation’s manpower needs; bogged down by corruption of various kinds; and offering education of poor quality, among others.

Akanniade: Nigeria generally has a poor toilet culture. I wud rather shotput than use those stink holes in naija schools

teetee123: I understood that this story was culled from Daily Trust and was written by one uniformed journalist. The NUJ should do something about this hungry news men that sleep all day in their room and ended up sending unverified information to their editors. May be some of this so called committee members just sit in their hotel rooms and wrote unconfirmed information or the journalist made a typo error of writing 569 instead of 5.69 student per toilet facility
Am very conversant with ABU, Zaria and since inception the female medical students always have the best treatment unlike their main and kongo campuses ladies.
The main campus hostels have a lot to cater for but each floor has up to 10 toilets each.

shizzlin: Gaaaawd!!!! I dint need to read everything to know THIS IS A BIG LIE!!!!!! The said hostel is MY hostel and its only for clinical medical students and 500L nursing students. There are about 80rooms spread across 3floors having 8 toilets each and max of 2per room.infact 600Ls stay alone. Its the same as for the males just that they have more rooms.pls do the math.where's the 529 here for Godsake?ah ah! we female medics are very small in number and that's why they also had to include nursing students with us.
Non medical students in other hostels are averagely 4 or 6 per room max,while final years stay 2max.
This evil report that's sent to pour sand in ABU's garri nawa o.
