Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Obafemi Hamzat who made the revelation at the yearly budget breakdown in Lagos attributed the achievement to ongoing revolution in LASU.
He said only students in LASU are capable of writing codes when registering for their examination unlike other schools that offers computer science as a course. He explained that schools fees in LASU ranged from N170,000 per session to about N300,000 adding that it is not possible to get quality education with N25,000 school fees.
He said what can be generated from school fees is insignificant compared to the N9 billion which the state government is spending in the school in the 2014 fiscal appropriation. He said it is unthinkable for Nigerians to pay more N25,000 in nursery schools and expect to pay less at the tertiary level.
The Babatunde Raji Fashola government had directed prospective students in Arts/Education to pay N193,750; Social and Management Sciences, N223,750; Law, N248,750; while those in Communication/Transport, Sciences, Engineering and College of Medicine are to pay, N238,750, N258,750, N298,750 and N348,750 respectively as against fees which ranges between N25,000 and N62,500.
