Mr. Fashola stated this on Thursday at the convocation programme of the university.

The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has directed that the controversial fee hike at the Lagos State University, LASU, be reversed.

Mr. Fashola stated this on Thursday at the convocation programme of the university.

He said the fees would now be returned to the old charges.

The reversal comes after months of protests by students and lecturers of the university.

The Lagos State Government had, earlier in 2011, increased the fees from N25, 000 to N198, 000 for humanities and education, while medical students were to pay N350, 000.

After the protests, the state government approved a reduction by 34 to 60 per cent. That reduction would have seen students pay between N76, 750 and N158, 250 depending on the faculty and year of study.

That reduction was still opposed by the students and the lecturers.

Thursday’s announcement by the governor could, however, lead to a reversal to the 2011 charges.
Details later…

Fashola my man.

Finally, he and Jagaban have done the needful

A True Leader Indeed!

We, the womenfolk are solidly behind you!

Kudos To APC!

Change, We Must!

I just passed LASU about an hour ago and the whole place agog with students chanting praise songs. I thought initially it was a riot.

Nice one from Mr. Fash!

Eko oni baje o!

oh! I see. Is it not too late considering dat d people already have their plan for 2015? i.e to vote out d elitists' party.

Talk about swallowing one's vomitus.

APC and clueless hasty decisions.
At least he was man chicken enough to admit

The fear of APC failure in the upcoming elections.

Amanwulu1: oh! I see. Is it not too late considering dat d people already has their plan for 2015?

The fear of FREE AND FAIR election in GEJ's new Nigeria is the beginning of COMMON SENSE

Nice one!

Even if Fashola declares free education in LASU, PDP will still defeat APC in Lagos State 2015 gubernatorial election.

Alas Mr Fashola swallowed his pride Congrat to all Lasuite. LASU o ni baje.

Election talk

2015 don dey make strong men shake

How can any sane governor hike fees from N25, 000 to N198, 000 while the minimum wage remain the same. Fashola has always been known as an elitist governor.

His government has never been in the mode of "baba kekere" Jakande, a man who governed Lagos with the plight of poor people topmost in his heart.

Lets hope Fashola rids himself of what is plaguing most APC governors, am talking of the eBola Ahmed Tinubu virus.

APC is the only alternative, now that APGA has been murdered in cold blood by Peter AdaObi! Or what do you think?

Hediot... So your SAN brain did not tell you that your successor will suffer for your wrong doings, too many mumu rulling us. Even if APC wins in 2015, the damage has already been done, PDP used it against APC in Ekiti and Ondo, they will still use it again for campaign, the nxt thing you have to do is stop the toll gate fee... Then we can negotiate.

NICE ONE MAN

neena: Fashola my man.
