For over 20,000 students of the University of Ilesa (UNILESA), that tension recently broke into public glare. Their grievance?

For years, the student community in Ilesa has relied on private hostels scattered across neighborhoods like Bolorunduro, Imo, Ita-Olokun, and Ifofin. These spaces, though modest, formed the beating heart of campus life, study circles, shared meals, late-night laughter, and the daily forging of lifelong friendships.
