Male students of Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State were on Sunday, stranded in their hundreds as they were shut out of their hostels by the landlord over alleged inability of the school and state government to pay N24 million for two years rent.
According to Vanguard correspondent who visited the rented school hostel which housed more than half of the institution’s male population yesterday, the hostel was bereft of normal student activities.
It was further reported that the Dean of Student Life, Dr. Marcellina Offoha, and the porter were packing out students’ property as the landlord stood by, waiting to put a lock on the gate.
The landlord, who brandished a letter signed by his lawyers, Yenagoa-based Stream Solicitors, said he was tired of the antics of the state government, which had failed to honour the agreement to pay him annually for the apartment.
He said he had made several efforts to get the issue resolved amicably, but lamented that all his efforts were thwarted by Bayelsa State government, who is the tenant and the school authorities, who occupied the apartment.
He said: “I am evicting the university. They are my tenants and they are owing due to the negligence from the state government. They are owing me for two years. I have given them quit notice and I hope they are quitting.

The only reason why this made it to the news is because of the name OTUOKE!...I hope they will not blame President Jonathan for this again..lol
This ugly looking place? Two years rent at 24mil. Even my oga won't pay such
ReplyDeleteSmh for South south, we no dey try at all so govt couldn't even build a school hostel kai. U see? If na north now they would start developing themselves ist, they don't joke with themselves that's just one thing u like about them.
DeleteStella how can u say that? Such incidence would ve made it 2 d news in where in Nigeria. It's a shame on d Nig govt and u know when it comes 2 such people re quick 2 spread whether it's Otuoke or Delta.
DeleteGerman juice I totally agree with u on this. South south nor dey try. When it comes 2 love n care I give it d Northerners. In fact u don't ve 2 b from d north, just spk d language even if it's just "come" n see how they ll treat u like their own.

Thank God for news...from the impression people gave,i envisaged My President's place differently...
Oya Bayelsa Governor please answer to this... Gej's regime has given all governors and senators mouka foam to sleep on.. Most of them do not even know their responsibilities... it is time to work! No more Gej this,Gej that......
No one has called GEJ into this nau, except Stella. Am even shocked they are calling out the state government, if so then I can state that it's not a free accommodation. Must b very cheap but not free. Students pay 2 d school who in turn should remit 2 d state. #justsayig#
