The Lagos State Government has finally announced a reduction in the
tuition of its state university, LASU by 34% and 60% across the
different faculties and courses.
Announcing the reduction at a press conference yesterday in Alausa
Ikeja, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai Olukoga
said after much deliberations by the adhoc committee set up by the
Governor to look into all the grey areas of the proposed new fees, the
Governor yesterday adopted the committees recommendations and approved
the reductions.
“Government agrees that with the subsidized
tuition fees and appropriate moderation of incidental fees, a reduction
ranging from 34% to 60% is possible across the different faculties and
courses. Government has therefore approved the reductions and, in
accordance with the law setting up the university, forwarded its
approval to the institution’s Governing Council for implementation. The
council will issue details of what is now payable by students in each
department” Olukoga said
government’s release of research fund, scholarship, bursary provisions
