The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called for the immediate downward review of high tuition fees being paid at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho, Oyo State.

Mr Theophilus Lagi, the ASUU Abuja Zone Coordinator, made the call while addressing newsmen in Gwagwalada, Abuja on Monday.

LAUTECH is co-owned by both Oyo and Osun State Governments.

Lagi said that the institution had, in recent times, been tied with crisis over default to pay subvention and 10 months outstanding promotion areas to ASUU members.

He described the amount being paid as tuition fees in LAUTECH as alarming adding that it was not in the interest of both the students and parents.

“It is unfortunate that a public University like LAUTECH depends on funds from IGR largely from high tuition fees and other hidden and indiscriminate charges.

“One of the fundamental problems in the University is funding, since 2013 there has been total neglect in terms of funding by Oyo and Osun State Governments.

“We shall continue to resist any attempt to jeopardise the educational development of Nigerian youths.

“We are calling upon parents who are made to pay outrageous tuition fees and students who are denied quality education and made to study under hostile environment to rise up for what is just,” he said.

Thank u Jesus!

Strike still continue

Fee is too high though considering most parents/civil servants are being owed salary.

If the two states cannot handle the affairs of the school, it would be better the government take over the school to prevent the student from all these suffering

My babe is still in 100level in Lautech, I told her to go and write jamb she says God for bid. I can't marry a lady without bsc atleast. I'm now writing my final exams. What do I do with this strike now that my age 30plus

Ok that's thoughtful of them. Meanwhile JUPEB registration is now on

You could say that ones more........though to be more succinct here, Lautech has tot me lots of things I couldn't even imagine I could learn outside there

Please ASUU should also review anambra state University's own too..137,950 for school fee alone is too much

lautech no be school I swear... I regret going there....real time waster... na we conquistador don suffer pass

These people are just toying with our future, imagine most of these politicians benefit free education. Now they make it unbearable.


And for ASUU, u guys are hyprocites. u only help in what benefits u most, anyway thanks on this
