LASU refunds N209million school fees to students

The Lagos state government has refunded N209m to
students of the Lagos state University following the
reversal of school fees by Lagos State University,
LASU.
At a ceremony held at the Main auditorium of the Ojo
campus of the school yesterday February 26th, the
Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai
Olukoga who represented Gov. Fashola, said this was
the first phase in the refund exercise. He said the
second phase of refund which is about N89 million
will take place soon.
12 students were presented with cheques ranging
from N150,000 to N200,000 while the remaining
money will be paid to the accounts provided by the
other students.
The management of the school and the students had
witnessed many months of protest following a hike in
school fees until Governor Fashola intervened in
September 2014 and ordered that the school fees be
reversed.
