Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State, has announced that applications for hostel accommodation for the 2026/2027 academic session will commence on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 7:00 a.m.
According to a notice dated October 23 and signed by the Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Onyekachi Eni, the online application platform will be available to both new and returning students seeking accommodation in the university’s halls of residence.The university clarified that submitting an application does not guarantee a bed space, as the submission only indicates interest. Bed spaces will be allocated online, and only students who receive official allocation will be authorised to make payment.
How to Apply for Hostel Accommodation
Students are advised to follow these steps to submit their applications:
1. Visit the official hostel portal at www.hostel.funai.edu.ng and check eligibility.
2. Enter a student number or JAMB registration number and email address to receive a verification code.
3. Enter the six-digit code and proceed with verification.
4. Create an account using a phone number and a password of at least 10 characters containing letters and numbers.
5. Confirm personal and academic details, including name, registration number, department, group and available spaces, then submit the expression of interest.
6. Keep the reference details and sign in later to check the application status.
Students applying under the NELFUND Student Grant programme should select the NELFUND option only if they are eligible.
Important Notice to Students: The university warned students against making payments before receiving official bed-space allocation. It stated that applicants who pay without an approved allocation do so at their own risk. Students must also complete payment of all other prescribed university fees and charges before paying for an allocated bed space. Once a bed space is allocated, payment must be made within the specified period to avoid forfeiture. AE-FUNAI further cautioned that it has no agents or facilitators for hostel allocation or fee payment. Students are therefore advised to use the official portal and avoid transactions through unauthorised intermediaries. With applications opening on October 26, students seeking on-campus accommodation should check their eligibility, follow the stated procedure and monitor their application status through the portal.Source: AE-FUNAI Student Affairs notice dated October 23, 2026.
