FLOODING resulting from downpours has caused significant damage at the University of Ibadan, destroying books, foodstuffs, and other essential materials.
The flood, on Friday, wreaked havoc in the university community destroying property worth millions of naira.
Among the property destroyed were documents and other valuables.
Investigations by newsmen on Saturday morning revealed that the properties were destroyed by floods that submerged some hostels of the institution.
A student of the institution, who preferred anonymity, said, “The badly hit hall of residence was Awo Hall where about 16 rooms in the underground floor were completely submerged with students’ property floating on the water.”
Another source said, “The students’ foodstuffs, documents, and property, especially those that went for examinations, were destroyed.
“The flood took over students’ rooms, toilets, kitchens, and all the entrances to their hostel.”
