Lagos
State government has refunded N209million to students of the Lagos State
University (LASU) following its reversal of the institution’s school fees.
Speaking at the event held in
the school campus, the state governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola said the refund is
the money paid in excess by the students before the reversal of the tuition
fees last year, adding that the sum of N209million is the first tranche of the
refund.
The governor represented by the
special adviser to the governor on education, Otunba Fatai Olukoga said the
recipients were 100 level students and 200 level Direct Entry students while
the remaining will be paid during the second tranche of the refund.
He assured that the remaining
would be released later, saying that government is committed to ensuring the
wellbeing of the students.
He stated that when the
government reversed the fees, many people dubbed it a political move to win
elections, adding that LASU remains the institution paying the least school
fees in the country.
Fashola said the government is
not unaware of comments from critical stakeholders that have made mockery of
university education in the country because of the low school fees.
He said, “We are also not
unaware of the moves by the same stakeholders to frustrate our efforts at
ensuring the quality of LASU programmes. Notwithstanding the frustration, we
are relentlessly committed to making LASU a world class university of our time.
