Living in AkokaSomolu, Lagos
Akoka is UNILAG's home turf, and the university sets the rhythm: hostels, student lodges, staff quarters, and family compounds share the same Somolu streets. Residents rate it 3.3 overall across 86 reviews. Power supply is the best rated of the big utilities at 3.7, water is close behind at 3.6, and security holds up at 3.5. Roads (3.0) and noise (2.6) are the weak points, especially on the busy routes around the campus gates. Rents run cheaper than Yaba next door, which keeps demand high around every admission season.

Internet and power supply is great. The road is in good condition. There's a good drainage system so the street doesn't get flooded.
The street is clean and the road is in good condition. Power is constant, internet connection is good with all networks.
The roads are below par and takes longer minutes to get out of the street than it should.
