At a press conference held yesterday June 12th in Ogba, the
President of LASU Student Union Government, Nurudeen Yusuf, said the
state government should spell out the proposed new fees in Naira and
Kobo rather than this percentage as their parents who are responsible
for the payments do not know how to calculate in percentage.

“We do not accept the 34 to 60% reduction of the government because
in 2011 when the fees were increased, it was not done on percentage
level; rather, they made the pronouncement in Naira and Kobo. We urge
the government to come out in words as to how much will be paid by our
students in Naira and Kobo and not in percentage. How do they expect our
parents, the market women scrambling to pay our fees, to calculate the
percentage? The government is only trying to play games with our future.
We question their sincerity on this matter because the pronouncement of
the fee was as a result of a visitation panel set up by the government
of which the report was selectively adopted” Yusuf said
