How To Apply For Unilag Postgraduate Hostel Accommodation

I have been bombarded with questions from the newly admitted Unilag Postgraduate students who are curious to know how to apply and go about the Unilag Postgraduate Hostel Accommodation. 

As at the time of posting this news (12:08 pm, Tuesday10th of June 2014) the Unilag School of Postgraduate Studies has not issued any official statement as regards the procedure to apply for the 2013/2014 Unilag Postgraduate Hostel Accommodation. 

I have therefore decided to dig deep into the research terrain to bring you the hostel application procedure as used in the previous sessions. In which I believe this year is not going to be an exception. Read below: continue....
