The management of the Lagos State University, LASU, has announced the resumption of academic activities in the school. The school re-opens June 23rd after it was shut down following weeks of students' protest over increase in school fees. The school fees have since been reduced.
Below is a statement released by the school's spokesperson, Kayode
Sutton...
"Sequel to the Lagos State government’s agreement to the reduction of the Lagos State University School Fees by 34% to 60% across different faculties, the university management has come up with the precise amount to be paid by students in all departments and faculties. In a swift compliance to this agreement, the Governing Council of the University has approved new school fees which now ranges between N76,250.00 for a final year student in the Arts Department (49.3% reduction), and N158, 250.00 for a 200 level Engineering and Medical (Direct entry) student.
“In the new school fees as approved by the Council, a
100 level student in the Adebola Adegunwa School of Communication will
now pay N103, 250.00, and a 200 level student (Direct Entry) will be
required to pay same fee, while a 200 level returning student pays
N88,250.00. For the College of Medicine, a fresh student is expected to
pay N115, 750.00, ditto, a final year medical student, while a 200 level
(Direct Entry) student in the same College pays N158,250.00,
representing a 36.4% reduction.
“The approval also stipulated that a 100 level
Engineering student pays N115,750.00 , while the returning students in
200_500 level will pay N143,250.00, N143,250.00, N131,750.00 and
N106,750.00 respectively. New entrants (100 level) in the Faculty of
Management Sciences and a final year (500 level) student will now pay
N103,250.00, N113,250.00, N98,250.00, N98,250.00, N86,750.00 and
N86,750.00 respectively" the statement read

ReplyDeleteMehn! I don't even understand this difference in the school fees based on department and faculty. Why not just make the school fees a unified amount? Anyways, it's a gud thing the fees were reduced. Aluta continua...

ReplyDeleteIts still expensive... With d rate of increasing poverty in our society, not many parents can afford this. the one's that can will pay unwillingly.
ReplyDeleteIts left for the students to be up-and-doin in their studies cos ur parents would hve invested more than a million naira on u all thru ur four or five years stay in sch including sch fees, books, accomodation and allowances.
