While much attention has focused on the maintenance and condition of public buildings limited research effort have focused on the condition of hostel amenities in the federal Universities especially in the north east Nigeria. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the condition of hostel amenities in Federal Universities in the North East Nigeria, with a view to providing a guide for improving the condition of the amenities through the provision of adequate amenities and services for students’ satisfaction in their hostels. The study employed the use of quantitative approach. The Population comprises of 32,256 students, residing in seven federal universities hostel blocks. An approximately sample size of 2,700 students were selected, based on proportional sampling technique according to the hostel blocks. The data collected through questionnaire was analysed using descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and percentages. The result revealed that, such as electricity supply, water supply, Internet service security Services, and kitchen are in good condition while others while other amenities such as, deadbolt lock, extinguisher, toilets, are in fair, poor and very poor conditions. The study recommends that the institution continue to prioritize maintenance and upgrading of amenities to ensure sustained students satisfaction and academic performance. Regular assessments and feedback mechanisms should be established to monitor, replace, and improve amenities.
