Parents jolted as Admiralty University limits hostel accommodation to new, final year students

Parents whose children and wards attend Admiralty University of Nigeria, Ibusa in Delta State, have been jolted following announcement by the University administration that hostel accommodation for the 2025/2026 academic session, have been limited to newly admitted and final year students of the institution.

One of the parents, who expressed her frustration in a confidential telephone chat with Fresh Angle International, Friday September 26, said she was deeply concerned regarding getting accommodation for her son (going for his 200level) outside the school campus, “because there are threats of armed herdsmen in the area, where the institution is situated”.

The concerned parent, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order not to put her son at cross road with the school authority, told This Flagship Niger Delta Online Newspaper that her fears, was equally expressed by some parents in Warri, whose children attend same varsity.

 According to her, the open Whatsapp forum of the school, was shut by the admin, to prevent parents from expressing their position, immediately the Public Relations Officer, Admiralty University of Nigeria, Makut Alfred Mashat, Anipr, dropped the special announcement, limiting the hostel accommodation.

The institution’s Imagemaker, had in the special announcement dated September 23, 2025, noted: “Admiralty University of Nigeria wishes to inform the general public, especially returning students and parents, about the limited hostel accommodation space available for the 2025/2026 academic session.
