OJO, Lagos, Nigeria – Management of the Lagos State University, LASU has said that it did not increase tuition fee contrary to reports in the social media.
According to LASU, what the school did was merely to raise acceptance fee fron N10, 000 to N20, 000 payable only once, which the school said remains the cheapest in Nigeria.
In a statement, Ademola Adekoya, Coordinator, CIPPR said LASU tuition or school fee remains N25, 000 per session.
“The attention of the Lagos State University Management has again been drawn to the erroneous insinuations making the rounds, especially on the Social Media, regarding a plan to increase or purported increase in the Tuition/School Fee being paid by Students of the University presently.
“What the university has done is to increase the payment of acceptance fee from Ten Thousand Naira [N10,000.00] only to Twenty Thousand Naira (N20,000.00) only payable once by candidates recently offered provisional admission by the university. It must be mentioned that the payment of the Twenty Thousand Naira (N20,000.00) acceptance fee remains the cheapest in Nigeria compared to what other universities receive as their acceptance fee.
“The University Management however, wishes to reiterate that there is no increment in Tuition/School fees, neither are there plans to effect any increment.
“Members of the University Community, students and the General Public are urged to disregard any information to the contrary. Please be wary of mischief makers trying to incite and create unnecessary tension in the university.
