The protesting students were reported to have abandoned one of their examination to register their grievances.
Local media reported that the students were reacting to the rumour
making the rounds on the campus that the management had no intention to
effect a cut in tuition as promised during their admission into the
school.
The Lagos State government, as part of moves to douse the rising
tension caused by the increase in the tuition of LASU students,
earlier said the proposed fees would only be paid by incoming students
that would be admitted into the school in years to come.
The student were however, directed to pay N193,750 for
Arts/Education; N223,750 for Social and Management Sciences; N248,750
for Law while those in Communication/Transport, Sciences, Engineering
and College of Medicine paid N238,750, N258,750, N298,750 and N348,750
respectively as against old fees which ranges between N25,000 and
N62,500.
Meanwhile, the Students Union Government, SUG, the umbrella body of
every student in the institution has dissociated itself from the
protest.
