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.
