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.
