FUNAAB SUG Mandates Registration for Off-Campus Hostel Agents

The Student Union Government at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta has announced mandatory registration for all individuals operating as hostel agents outside the university campus.

Why This Matters to Students

This initiative aims to protect FUNAAB students from exploitation by unscrupulous accommodation agents. Many students have fallen victim to exorbitant fees and fraudulent practices when seeking off-campus housing. The registration exercise will help identify legitimate agents and create accountability.

Registration Requirements

All hostel agents operating outside FUNAAB campus must:

• Complete registration with the SUG before September 1, 2025
• Contact the Office of the Director of Welfare and Business at 09131127291
• Comply with all regulatory guidelines set by the SUG

Consequences for Non-Compliance

Agents who fail to register by the deadline face:

• Prohibition from operating as hostel agents around FUNAAB
• Reporting to relevant authorities
• Other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate by the SUG

Advice for Students

Students seeking accommodation should:

1. Wait for the official list of registered agents from SUG
2. Exercise caution when dealing with accommodation agents
3. Report suspicious activities to the SUG welfare office
4. Avoid paying large sums without proper documentation

The SUG leadership has assured students that a comprehensive list of verified and registered agents will be made available for reference.
