Hostel – Babcock University Schools, Ogba.

Mrs Umoru Blessing

Chairperson, Hostel Affairs

Babcock University Schools, Ogba, are located in a serene environment which induces learning. The students/pupils in Babcock University Schools have unlimited access to holistic education which stands as it is, the bedrock of Adventist education. The school is owned alongside others by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Like most other missionary schools, it offers both boarding and day operations.

THE HOSTELS

The school has relocated the boarding students to the newly completed ultra-modern hostel complex since January 2019. The hostel is fully air-conditioned and has constant power and treated water supply with comfortable rooms. There is provision of adequate and nourishing food, field for recreational activities, lighting and prep reading times with adequate supervision.

The hostel activities are supervised by the well-experienced masters and mistresses who are placed as fathers and mothers, to provide all the necessary guidance and support to the growing minds. The various activities, academic, domestic, curricular and otherwise are properly monitored.

The time for siesta, laundry, meals, recreation, worship, socials and prep are specially planned in alignment with the school’s general programmes. There is provision for formidable cupboards and lockers for keeping personal belongings secure.

MEDICAL FACILITIES

The school is equipped with a standard sick bay with modern facilities that give students prompt attention. We also provide extensive health care by partnering with a very reliable specialist hospital which makes its service reliable.

Utilities like internet access for assignment, CCTV for security monitoring and computer based test for students’ evaluation are available.

In conclusion, I implore parents to take the opportunities of a life time to partner with this prestigious institution to achieve its holistic goal, thereby partaking in exorbitant excellence. God bless our schools, staff and students in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
