Governor Fashola Proposes Reduction In LASU Fees -Sahara Reporters

A protracted crisis at the Lagos State University over fee hikes that have outraged students and led to protests reached another juncture yesterday with Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State proposing a reduction of tuition.


Mr. Fashola made the proposal during a meeting yesterday with the protesting students. The students, under the auspices of Education Rights Campaign (ERC), are demanding full reversal of the hiked fee. They have staged several rallies and protests to press their case.

At the meeting, Mr. Fashola offered to reduce, rather than reverse, the hiked fee. He teased the students and members of the ERC to consult among themselves and propose an acceptable reduction.
