LASU to students: Pay up today or forfeit admission
On December 16, 2011 · In News

By IKENNA ASOMBA
LAGOS—AUTHORITIES of Lagos State University, LASU, yesterday, reiterated its stand that old and new students pay their stipulated tuition fees and meet registration deadline which closes today.

In a special bulletin, by the management, new and old students were mandated to pay the stipulated new regime of fees, which, according to sources, ranges between N193, 750 and N348,750; N25,000 and N33,250 respectively, before close of work today, or forfeit their studentship.

However, mixed feelings have continued to trail the decision of LASU management, as some students have started paying, while others are yet to comply.

The majority of students, who are yet to make payments, have expressed fears of the unknown, in the decision of the management to forfeit their hard-earned admission into the citadel, after the deadline.

According to them, two weeks are too short for them to afford the stipulated fees proposed by the management.

President, Lagos State University Student Union, LASUSU, Akeem Durojaiye, condemned the management’s decision, describing it as impromptu and an act of insensitivity on their part.

He said: “In fact, the unbannable Lagos State University Student Union totally condemns the draconian policy of Professor Obafunwa, LASU new VC. We have issued a bulletin to this effect, urging students who can’t meet the impromptu deadline not to panic.

“How do you expect a student whose parents earn below the N18, 000 minimum wage to pay N250,000 within two weeks? This is outright wickedness,” he said, adding, “everything is under God’s control.”

Durojaiye further revealed an order by the school management to arrest members of the union, yesterday. He said: “To our surprise, this morning, (Thursday), the Public Relations Officer of the union, Financial Secretary, Treasurer and 10 other students were arrested by men of the Ojo Divisional Police Headquarters, in what they (management) termed ‘malicious damages’ of the university’s property.

He said the property involved was the students union arcade gate, which the union broke down to gain entrance into their offices as it was locked-up by the management.

“Which property are they talking about, is it theirs or ours? The reason behind the arrest of our members can not be justified, although, they have been bailed this morning (Thursday) by us, but our stand remains that students who may not meet with the impromptu deadline can never forfeit their admission.”

Also speaking, Comrade Olateju Azeez, PRO, LASUSU, described his arrest, that of two other members of the union, and 10 other students as unfortunate.

“We will not be cowed to give-in to the draconian policies of the management”, assuring, “students who have their money should go to pay and commence registration, while the union will ensure it stands for those who may not meet the deadline, against the management’s threat that they will forfeit their admission”.

FASHOLA IS WORKING , LAGOSIANS MUST WORK HARDER  

Seems like FASH just wakes up and makes law irregardless of his silly and stupid mood. This guy should have been swept under the carpet with those military rulers who went away with OBJ. I wonder what he will come up with next. Maybe the BRF will soon become 1k per passenger, or he could start taxing every lagosians 100k per annum. I tire for this crazy governor o. Mscheeewest!

@ sheguy - u must be smoking weed for ynvr silly post

Victory over  what ?  .  Are you that stupiid  , no offeinse 

if u aren't one urself u wouldn't talk d way u r talking, it is victory for the system @ large becos :
sorting of 1k to for 20 mark test to lecturers can be phased out.
Sorting of 30-40k for admission into even depts like law will b no more.
Girls runzing the womb out for marks and guys going into crime will reduce.
Some silly folks which u r likely one of them (no insult intended pls) will no longer hijack TAXPAYER'S money by bribing their way thru and claim the r smart while those who work thier azzes off for grades/admission r fo.ols.
There will be money for equipment and materials for running the school.

The benefits r much.

IT IS A BIG VICTORY 4 EDUCATION IN LAGOS.

[size=16pt]250,000 and yet no work after graduation, What a fresh air[/size]

this is where Fashola got it wrong.
i wud tel him dat to his face.
i wud like 2 ask him where his children r n hw much does he pay as their sch fees.
if evrybody can be a governor, we can pay dat amt as sch fees.
bt its impossible, there no way he shld inflict such pains on students n theit families
i call dis action 'cowbell'.

SEE BRAIN WASHED LAGOSIANS. FASHOLA OF ACN Bleep UP, YOU DEY USE JONATHAN OF PDP'S SLOGAN.

And some students are paying? Some people are very foo.lish!!
This is where the problem of this nation lies.
How we wan take start the revolution?
Smh.

That means subsidy has been removed from LASU mgt by Lagos state govt. hard times for the new intakes, sorry, o

we expect the same sky rocketing prices on petro from Jan2012. God save naija!

may God help us in this country obodo Nigeria, am short of words.

[size=13pt]wow could this be true or just a JOKE becos it can't happen just like that[/size]

Dear lord! !!
Dis so calld govanor must be a joka.
Where do he expect a poor man's child who hadly earns even N20,000/month, to get such amount of money.
Ofcos, those that hav alredi stat payin ar the sons and daughtes of thoz VIPs.

What I think government should do is to stagger the fee structure of the present set with new students paying 100% reducing to zero for final year students who can perform poorly due to the trauma and have the most to lose if forced out at this late stage. They can then carry on their commerce for subsequent intakes. I think next Jamb will be very interesting and I'm keen to see the percentage drop in applications to LASU due to commercialisation or do we call it deregulation.

na wao, see subsidy removal side-effect!!!!

poor man pikin no go smell uni gate very soon!! smh

i agree that sheyguy must have smoked weed. what does being in the university have to do with increased fees? maybe you are so rich and do not feel the suffering in the country. in O.A.U only 20,000 caused a riot. things are hard and they are making it harder. Fashola fans where you dey?

Fashola Fans are bunch of "Tinubu say make we vote here" set of people who can not think straight except the propaganda they are fed with wit the media empire own by their slave masters.

You will see them praising Fashola for everything he does including 50Billion on 50 KM roads and the heavily borrowed money from South Africa and other countries to impress us for the main time.

They are not bold enuf to comment on this except for few weed smoking ones like sheyguy

This must be a joke,

its tym for dem to go n wash plates , skool na by force

M.O.M:

This must be a joke,

here resemble joke section for ya eye

ngn348,000!!! nawa ooo.why can't these student go to ghana or other neighboring countries for stable and quality education.

9ja stand up 2 dis goin 2 skul is ur right no body can deprive of dis, an aphroism has it"education is d bedrock of any developin nation"
fashola in action!!!!i bet u if he stand on dat is political ambition will b lost!!

What do u guyz really think will be d consequence of not meeting up with d ultimatum(deadline)?

some schools in europe and the united states do not even pay up to this amount in school fees, and to say that this is coming from a state government,

i have always maintained my stance, that there is no hope for africa, and for nigeria , there would never be any hope,

while i can say that there are things that i love about the country e.g, nollywood, the church industry, ben bruce and mike adenuga,

imy thing is still that there can never be any hope for nigeria except a full blood birth revolution which i believe cannnot take place at the moment because i believe that the igbo's would be a target
