According to Emmanuel, “the company is experiencing a breakdown. UNILAG Waters has not been able to meet the consumption demands lately, that is why sachet water is scarce and expensive.”
Following this development, it was gathered that vendors of ‘pure water’ have been reported to refuse to sell to students, unless the buyer buys other things as well.
Residents of Eni-Njoku hall, who lamented the situation decried that at the hall’s shops, food vendors force students to buy food before they sell ‘pure water’ to them.
This development it was gathered has forced students to either go without water or go out of their hostels to source for sachet water.
Dan, a student of Business Education, who corroborated this sad situation on campus, in a telephone interview with Vanguard said: “We are really suffering. To get water to drink is a problem. You know as students some of us cannot afford to keep buying bottle water for N50.”
The situation however took a dramatic turn, Monday, when ULSA brought in bags of sachet water for sale to students at N100 per bag.
