THE Students' Union Government (SUG) has imposed an immediate ban on student accommodations at Sycamore hostel, due to the hostel management's failure to refund a substantial amount of money that was collected in excess from residents.
The Union made this decision public, through a press release circulated yesterday, Wednesday, October 1.
The letter reads in part: "It is with regret that we must inform you of the significant issue concerning Sycamore Hostel, which has resulted in the Students' Union's decision to impose an immediate ban on all student accommodations at this facility. This action has been necessitated by the hostel management's failure to fulfill their commitment to refund a substantial amount of money that was collected in excess from students. Despite numerous communications and promises made to rectify this situation, we have seen no meaningful resolution.
"As a consequence, we want to make it abundantly clear that any student who chooses to make a payment to stay at Sycamore Hostel is effectively donating their money to the management, as the situation remains unresolved. This is not only a breach of trust but also a violation of the standard we uphold as a community."
The Union, however, advised students to seek alternative housing arrangements until the Union provides a formal memo regarding the status of the hostel.
The letter reads in part: "Students are advised to seek alternative housing arrangements until the Students' Union provides a formal memo regarding the status of the hostel. We are actively engaging with the hostel management to ensure they this matter is resolved promptly and will keep you updated on any developments.
If you have been affected by this situation, please reach out to the Students' Union office. We are here to assist you and address any concerns you may have."
