Windy rain has wreaked havoc at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) destroying property worth millions.
The rain with its strong wind occurred at the weekend in the institution.
Some of the facilities affected are the mast of the Network Operating Centre (NOC) housing several internet radios, the Chemical Engineering lecture theatre, the Life Sciences lecture hall, the Department of Biochemical Engineering, the Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres, where about 40 computers were affected, the Geology and Mineral Resources Department, electric poles, and the General Studies Division (GNS) Unit.
The windy rain also destroyed the University Health Services, the Faculty of Law, the old University Library, the Language Laboratory (Faculty of Arts), the Counseling and Human Development Centre, and the Student Affairs Unit.
Speaking on the development, UNILORIN Vice Chancellor, Prof Wahab Egbewole (SAN), expressed mixed feelings over the havoc wreaked on the campus of the university by the windy rainfall.
Egbewole, who led other principal officers on a campus-wide tour to assess the level of damage done by the rain said he was glad that it occurred when students were on a break following the directive of the Federal Government to shut all universities for the period of the 2023 General Elections.
He said that if not for the break, no one could predict the extent and consequences of the havoc.
