The Lagos State Government in
line with the recommendations of
the visitation panel report has
approved new regime of tuition
fees for fresh students of Lagos
State University (LASU) starting
from 2011/2012 academic
session.
The new tuition fees
arecontained in government
views (white paper) on the
report of the visitation panel to
LASU dated September 2011,
even as it directed the
governing council and the
Senate to take action on the
implementation.
New students admitted to the
College of Medicine are expected
to pay the highest amount of
N348,750 with N80,000 being
tuition, accommodation attracts
N60,000, N50,000 for
laboratories/practical/workshop/
studio, examinations N25,000
while acceptance fee and
manuals go for N20,000 each.
But in a swift reaction to the
tuition fees increment, the
Students Union rejected the
action and vowed to oppose the
implementation on campus,
saying the body was not carried
along by the government and
the university management
before it was approved.
The report states: “In view of
the enormous financial
commitment required to run a
university vis-à-vis other
competing demands in the public
sector, government accepts the
recommendations to increase
tuition fees and therefore
directs the governing council and
other authorities of the
university to effect the following
graduated tuition fees for the
following courses.”
A breakdown of the new tuition
fee per faculty indicates that
fresh students in Faculties of
Arts/Education would cough out
N193,750. Further details
revealed that tuition fee is
N50,000, acceptance fee,
laboratories/workshop/practical/
studio attracts N20,000 each
and it also include N15,000 for
field trip/teaching practice and
development levy.
For Faculties of Social and
Management Sciences, the new
students would pay N223,750
from 2011/2012 academic session
with N60,000 going for tuition
fee, laboratories/practical/
workshop/studio attract
N25,000, acceptance fee is
N20,000.
The new fee for Law
programmes is N248,750, with
breakdown as follows, N80,000
for tuition, N50,000 for MOOT

workshop/studio, N25,000 for
examinations, while acceptance
fee and manuals attracts
N20,000 each.
It further stressed that
“Government directs that the
new tuition fees shall not be
applied retroactively as current
students are exempted from the
increase. The new tuition fees
will take effect from 2011/2012
academic session.
Government will mitigate the
impact of the increase in tuition
fees on indigent students by
provision of bursary and
scholarship through its bursary
and scholarship schemes”.
The new President of the
students union, Durojaiye
Olalekan told Daily Sun that the
current or former executive
were consulted by the
government or the university
management stressing that
many students would be forced
to abandon their programmes.
His words: “If there is any
element of truth about the
increment, we will resist it. It is
unjust. In LASU 70 per cent of
students are from less privilege
homes, they will be affected. It is
exploitative in nature”.

I do not think I am going to resume in LASU, despite the fact that this school as downgraded my academic career with  changing programs and plans, 100%  this semester, next semester will be 70 exam,30 mid-term test and lecturers attending lectures  was always by force by fire,unrest missing script after written exam and writing down attendance in exam hall as prove,

Chei, I don suffer for LASU and finally dem want to add insult to our injury, make them prepare for WAR

WE NO GO GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo

This is inhuman, what a country

This is totally unacceptable,

i cant fil my face

OOH my GOD! I have been saying it. The same people again,the same cabal that is holding Nigeria hostage since independence.
The same people that promised minimum wage and free education during their campaign days.the same people that have refused to pay the minimum wage.
The same people that have concluded arrangement to increase fuel to N150 by January.the same people that is out to kill us.The same sponsors of boko haram.
Students and all Nigerians should resist this.It is dehumanizing,it is barbaric,it is wicked

i wonder why all this Government official change once they have tasted power or still in power. With all the promises they made. So sad for our country NIGERIA

Congratulation Houdegbe North American University.
Cos I don't know why on earth one would pay such in Lasu and still get delay. Running a 5years course for 6 - 7yrs.

If this is true then am afraid many people will divert their carrier. Not even 30% of people going to Lasu would afford it.

Well Nigeria as a Nation am sorry to say we are doomed. But if only u understand you will agree with it.

I pray things get better though.

Am waiting to see how fashola justifies this act, My advice to the poor and average nigerians, Please have a considerable number of children you can cater for and still enjoy your own personal life.

These fees are way too High!!!

N60 000 for accommodation? Haba! Some room and parlor in lagos goes for less.

Totally upsurg, what insolense,! Arountnonsence, we no go greeoo!

Chei, for our own 'obodo' lagosi? I pity those who will have to abandon education for blue-collar jobs. Watch out cos every student 4 lasu go soon become emergency businessmen and women with immediate 'alacrity'. lol

Increment of LASU school fees by Lagos state Government. Removal of Oil Subsidy By Federal Government.

Were this to be in a PDP-administered state,people would have begun to cast aspersions on anything and anyone associated with the letter P. I've always said it,there is a very little or no difference among all nigerian politicians regardless of party affiliations and until the electorate are able to re-call and sack their under-performing governors even before the expiration of their tenures,Nigeria will eternally remain a failed state!

Eko oni baje, Lagos no go spoil, oya!!!!!! SENATE02 DEFEND UR GOVERNOR
