Gov. Fashola orders the reversal of Lagos State University fees to the sum of N25,000, after months of protests by students and lecturers in the university.
Gov.Fashola gave the directive today August 7th at the convocation programme of LASU which held earlier today at the LASU Ojo campus ground.
The Lagos State Government had in 2011 increased the fees from N25,000 to N198,000 for humanities & education, while medical students were to pay N350, 000. After the protests, the state government approved a reduction by 34 to 60%, a decision which was refused by the students.
That reduction would have seen students pay between N76, 750 and N158, 250 depending on the faculty and year of study.
