LASU refunds ₦209million school fees to students

The Lagos state government has refunded N209m to students of the Lagos state University following reversal of school fees by Lagos State University, LASU.

At a ceremony held at the Main auditorium of the Ojo campus of the college yesterday February 26th, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai Olukoga who represented Gov. Fashola, said this is the first phase in the refund exercise. He explained the 2nd phase of refund which will be about N89 million is set to take place soon.

12 students were offered cheques which range from N150,000 to N200,000 while the rest of the money will soon be paid to the accounts supplied by one other students.

The management of the college and the students had witnessed several months of protest adhering to a hike in school fees until Governor Fashola intervened in September 2014 and ordered that the college fees be reversed.
