Thinking about staying on campus this session? Here are the things you need to know. FUTA just kicked off the process for hostel accommodation for 2025/2026 by offering provisional accommodation, and if you want a spot, you’ve got to move fast. These rooms go quickly, and there aren’t enough spaces for everyone who wants one.
While you’re getting ready to resume, keep an eye on the FUTA academic calendar to stay on top of current news and activities on campus. This will save you from last minute surprises.
FUTA Provisional Accommodation 2025/2026
The Office of the Dean of Students handles the Futa Hostel application by first sending out provisional accommodation offers.
Remember, these offers are provisional, so your spot isn’t guaranteed until payment is made and confirmed on the student portal. There’s only a small window to pay. If you miss it, the system gives your space to someone else, no second chances.
To lock in your hostel space, you are required to:
Generate an accommodation invoice on https://firarsapp.futa.edu.ng/apps/login
Obtain a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR)
Pay the accommodation fee through Remita at any commercial bank or online
Confirm payment on your student portal
You must confirm your payment within 48 hours of receiving the hostel offer. Failure to do so leads to automatic withdrawal of the hostel space.
