Opportunity BasketUniversity Hostel Utility Infrastructure Fund & Management Service
A dedicated fund-management and project-delivery service that sources capital from development banks, alumni networks, and corporate sponsors; deploys it to upgrade water and electricity infrastructure at specific universities; and then operates a cost-recovery model where the university pays a fixed annual fee to maintain systems and fund future upgrades. The service includes site audits, engineering design, contractor vetting, installation oversight, and 5-year maintenance contracts.

University students lack reliable access to basic utilities in on-campus housingStudents living in university hostels face chronic shortages of electricity and water supply, making it impossible to study, maintain hygiene, or live safely. Current infrastructure at institutions like University of Ibadan is failing to meet basic needs, and university administrations lack effective solutions to upgrade aging utility systems. Students are trapped in unsuitable living conditions with no alternative housing options.
