If you’re a UNILAG student, you already know one thing:
food money finishes faster than data.
Between lectures, tests, group meetings, and transport, you don’t always have ₦5k to spend on one plate of rice. Over time, we all learn where to eat cheap, where to avoid, and where your money actually fills your stomach.
This is my real, student-to-student guide to the cheapest places to eat around UNILAG campus.
No packaging. No hype. Just survival food
1. Ijay’s Bistro The Everyday Plug
If you’ve been on campus for more than one semester, you already know Ijay’s.
Ijay’s is that place you go when:
a. You’re hungry
b. You’re broke
c. You don’t want stories
Rice, beans, stew, swallow simple meals, decent portions, and prices that won’t make you regret coming to school. It’s inside campus, so no stress, no transport, no excuse.
This is where most of us eat Monday to Friday.
