The Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) has announced a temporary suspension of hostel accommodation for the 2025/2026 academic session to allow for comprehensive maintenance and cleanup of campus facilities.

Affected Facilities

• Hostel A: Suspended for maintenance
• Hostel B: Suspended for maintenance

Reason for Suspension

The university is conducting a comprehensive maintenance and cleanup exercise to improve:

• Quality of hostel facilities

Duration

Hostels will remain unavailable until all maintenance work is completed. The university has not provided a specific reopening date but will announce when facilities are ready.

What Students Must Do

All students must make private accommodation arrangements for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Finding Off-Campus Housing

Students should:

• Start searching for off-campus accommodation immediately
• Look for housing options near the university
• Consider safety, proximity to campus, and affordability
• Arrange accommodation before the session begins
• Connect with fellow students for shared housing options

University's Commitment

While expressing regret for the inconvenience, FUBK management reaffirmed its commitment to providing improved hostel facilities once maintenance is completed.

The Registrar, Abdulkadir Abubakar, emphasized that the maintenance is essential for ensuring students have access to quality, safe, and comfortable accommodation in the future.

What This Means

• No on-campus accommodation available for 2025/2026 session
• Students responsible for finding private housing
• Maintenance work prioritizes long-term facility improvement
• Future sessions will benefit from upgraded hostels

For Prospective and Current Students

New students: Factor off-campus housing costs into your budget planning for the 2025/2026 session.

Returning students: If you previously lived in campus hostels, start your accommodation search early to secure suitable housing before session begins.

The university will announce hostel reopening when maintenance work is completed and facilities meet required standards.
