Students at the McPherson University have unveiled an innovative Hostel Allocation Management portal to mitigate accommodation issues and improve student accomodation experiences.
The innovative system developed by a team of third-year students was created in partnership with a registered IT training institute, New Horizon.
The platform which is set to revamp student experience by streamlining hostel management processes will aid easy booking of student hostel online.
This was made known by the institution in a statement available to newsmen on Thursday.
The statement said, "The web-based system allows students to book hostel rooms online, making the process more efficient and eliminating the need for manual methods.
“The portal provides a clear overview of available amenities, allowing students to make informed decisions about their accommodation.
“Students can submit maintenance requests directly through the portal, ensuring prompt and efficient resolution of any issues.
“The Hostel Portal serves as a centralised platform for communication between students and hostel management, facilitating timely updates and addressing concerns. The portal also promises anonymity and transparency in communication so as to avoid intimidation and harassment."
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Francis Igbasan, hailed the students and expressed great joy in their accomplishments.
“We are immensely proud of our students for developing such a valuable tool. The Hostel Portal demonstrates their creativity, problem-solving skills, and commitment to improving the University community,” Igbasan said.
