Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall marks its 61st anniversary today with a focus on addressing long-standing infrastructural issues.

In a press release, Oluwadamilare Fabiyi, the hall Chairman announced the presentation of a 64-page Needs Assessment report to the university management.

The report, submitted through the Dean of Students' Affairs, Prof. Keye Abiona, who was once a Zikite( resident of the hall), outlined pressing issues affecting the hall’s residents.

The document highlights persistent challenges, including water shortages, inconsistent electricity, and inadequate toilet facilities, among other concerns.

Alongside these issues, the report also offers detailed recommendations for their resolution, with an emphasis on sustainability and long-term maintenance.

While acknowledging the limited time left in the current administration, Fabiyi stressed that the report is a reference document aimed at ensuring continuous progress. 

"This document doesn't mean all these problems will be solved within the few months left in this administration, but it creates a reference that will ensure that these problems are progressively solved within the next few years," he stated.
