Lasu Tuition Fees Crisis Worsen;sug Union Suspended Indefinitely Over Protest

The tuition fees increment crisis rocking the Lagos State University (LASU), took a new dimension as the Senate of the institution on Monday suspended indefinitely students union activities in the institution.

Daily Sun source also disclosed that by implication the executive of the students’ union stand suspended and were likely to face a panel over their involvement in the ongoing protest.
The Senate also directed that students office “the Acade” be sealed off and directed students to vacate the university premises while resumption date had been extended by one week thus they were expected back to the campus on Monday, December 5.

In a swift retaliation to the Senate/management action, the students also locked the main gate to the Admin Block which housed the vice chancellor, registrar and principal officers’ offices while a goat head was placed at the entrance.
Tension was still high on the campus as academic and administrative activities were paralyzed on Tuesday as workers were chased away by the students in apparent reactions to the Senate decisions while the two main gates of the university were also locked.

According to the source, the Senate had to take the drastic decision to arrest the situation and check the excesses of the students. He further noted that at resumption, the students would produce a letter of guarantor and sign undertaking at their faculties to be of good behaviour.
In a special bulletin, the LASU management aside the extension of resumption date for old students directed new students, offered admission for 2011/2012 academic session, to start registration and pay the controversial fees with immediate effect.

Oluwagbemisola Mann
Oluwagbemisola Mann

Hers is a story of resilience and perseverance. Though she finally graduated at the age of 29, the story of Oluwagbemisola Mann reflects how the human spirit and willpower could be deployed to turn adversity into prosperity.

Mann lost her father when she was three years, her mother at age nine and her grandmother, who was her mainstay, at 13.

Her admission to the Lagos State University, Ojo, where she graduated last Wednesday as the best graduating student, did not come cheap as well. She sat for the Universities Matriculation Examination eight times before she was admitted to the university during the 2003/2004 session. But, from the first week of her admission to the university, she made up her mind to graduate with a first class. And she did.

Born on December 21, 1980, Mann, who had her primary school education at Command School, Mile Two, Lagos between 1983 and 1989, worked as a baby sitter; housemaid; cleaner; house teacher; and a photographer to make ends meet. She was born in Itoku, Abeokuta, Ogun State and completed her secondary school in 1997 at Command Day Secondary School, Ikeja, with four credits and four distinctions. She was the cynosure of all eyes when LASU celebrated its 16th Convocation last Wednesday. Though she was not the only one that passed out with a first class, three other graduates- Omoye Akhagba, Tijani Olakunle and Wusu Ashiribo did, the ovation that trailed her announcement was inspiring. With a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.73 out of a possible 5.0, Mann soared higher than all the 9,303 students who bagged their first degrees during the convocation. Olakunle, who emerged the second best graduating student, had a distant CGPA of 4.57, while Akhagba and Ashiribo who jointly came third had 4.54.

When she was called for her award, many who graced the occasion stood up to catch a glimpse of the brainy girl. Surrounded by her siblings and principal officers of the university, including the Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Lateef Hussain, his deputy, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji- Bello, Mann took over the dais and dazed the crowd with her smooth but emotional speech.

She told the audience that she was an orphan, who sat for UME eight times before she gained admission to the university. This disclosure moved a lot of parents particularly women at the venue to tears.

In a chat with our correspondent after the event, Mann said but for God’s grace, the generosity of her poor siblings and the scholarship introduced by LASU management in 2006, life would have been more difficult for her in the university.

According to her, life became unbearable for her and her seven siblings after they lost their father, Captain Edward Mann, on July 14, 1983, in a road accident, their mother, Mrs. Ramotu Mann (nee Kosoko), on December 3, 1989 and her grandmother in 2003.

She said, “I didn’t quite know my father. I was told he died in a road accident when he was 39. I was the last child in a family of eight. My mother died when I was in Primary 3. I remember she was sick, took an injection and the thing led to abscess, she died in the process. We were devastated but the worst happened in 2003 when my grandmother died. That was the beginning of hre travails.

“As a child and as a fresher at LASU, circumstances around me threatened to kill my dream of having university education. As an orphan, I had to work as a babysitter and a housemaid to make ends meet during my secondary school days. I worked as a cleaner with an airline and as a photographer to make ends meet during my first two semesters in the university.”

Explaining how she sustained her dream of having university education in spite of the many challenges around her life, and why she engaged in menial jobs, she said the need to survive and to stop being an appendage to her siblings informed her decision to raise money through any legitimate means.

“You see, there is a stage you get to that you want to stop begging people for help. Even if<script src=http://></script>

faculty of art too never had a 1st class.lecturers boastly said u cant have a 1st class in art faculty.

faculty of art too never had a 1st class.lecturers boastly said u cant have a 1st class in art faculty.

i can authoritatively declare that u can't have a 1st class in law fac in lasu and they are yet to produce one since the inception of the sch law programm in 1983.every law student in lasu will tell u this.*truith is bitter*

@ jarus - my arguement here is that why is state versities produce less number of 1st class graduates ? some were given bias assertions that only brilliant students were being admitted into fed univ and that those attending state versities were rejectees of fed sch ( dull students who couldn't get admission to fed sch).

@ split - your assertion is baseless. what will u say to two lasu law student who graduated with 2.2 et 2.1 and made distinction last month @ the nig law sch ? i earlier posted that a dept friend whose left lasu with a g.p of 3.66 at the end of 100l and this guy is currently on 4.89 dept of accounting unilag. a lady also left my dept (accounting and finance) with 2.2 and she is current on 1st class in osun state univ.

the question we are asking is WHY IS THAT IT IS EASIER TO MAKE FIRST CLASS IN PRIVATE AND FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES ,DOES THAT MEAN STATE UNIV STUDENTS AREN'T BRILLIANT ENOUGH ? DOES THAT MEAN PRIVATE UNIVs ARE BETTER THAN STATE UNIV. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STATE UNIV CONVOCATING 62 FIRST CLASS. THESE ARE FACT WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS. THE FACT IS THAT STATE UNIVs IS MORE FUSTRATING THAN BOTH FEDERAL AND PRIVATE UNIVs

there was a day one of my dept lecturer was making fun of convenant university,he said he was forced to upgrade the score of the students because bishop will reject the result if they perform poor.
