In the warm bustle of Osun State, where academic dreams interlace with the rhythm of everyday survival, a quiet tension has been building. For over 20,000 students of the University of Ilesa (UNILESA), that tension recently broke into public glare. Their grievance? A steep rise in accommodation rents, one that threatens not only their comfort, but their education itself. 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. But this sense of shelter is now under strain. Prices that once ranged around twenty to sixty thousand naira have, in recent months, climbed to figures pushing millions.

The National Association of University Students (NAUS) OSUN CMC has announced a peaceful protest scheduled for Monday, November 10, 2025, at 8:00am, in response to what it describes as exorbitant accommodation costs and exploitative agent fees affecting students of the University of Ilesa (UNILESA) and other students residing in the Ijesa community.
