THE claim about the reduction in tuition fee of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) has been made by two popular social media users, both on Facebook and Twitter.

A Facebook group called PDP Social Media Observer Group posted on September 10 that Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State governor, reduced the tuition fee of LAUTECH to 65,000.

The group wrote: “Gov Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has reduced the tuition fee of LAUTECH from N250,000 to N65,000.

It described that as what “a governor should be”.

The group which itself has 62, 379 followers, at the time of writing, made the post more prominent as not less than 1,500 people shared it, while it received more than 1,200 likes.

Most of the comments on the group show that quite a number of people have believed in the information as some people commended the governor for the job done.

Earlier on September 6, a similar claim was made on Twitter.

Oladele Dada who posted the information was funded by United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to study Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue course at the Athabasca University, Canada which he completed in 2015.
