Students of one of Nigeria’s oldest universities, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, have expressed concern about increased cases of illness among students. A visit to the institution’s largest student hostel, Awolowo Hall, showed that many of the rooms had at least one student who had fallen ill. One of the rooms, which has 8 occupants, had five of them already fall ill this past week. An average of five students stay in a room in the hostel officially although the figure is often up to a dozen due to the shortage of student accommodation. The increased cases of illness has been attributed to the ‘harsh’ weather conditions while some students have attributed it to poor sanitary conditions of the hostels. Some students also alleged that they were given expired drugs at the institutions health centre when they visited after they fell ill.
