LASU to reopen on Monday

The management of the Lagos State University, LASU, has announced the resumption of academic activities in the school. According to a statement released by the school's spokesperson, Kayode Sutton, the school re-opens on Monday June 23rd after it was shut down following weeks of students' protest over increase in school fees. The school fees have since been reduced.

According to Kayode, "Sequel to the Lagos State government’s agreement to the reduction of the Lagos State University School Fees by 34% to 60% across different faculties, the university management has come up with the precise amount to be paid by students in all departments and faculties. In a swift compliance to this agreement, the Governing Council of the University has approved new school fees which now ranges between N76,250.00 for a final year student in the Arts Department (49.3% reduction), and N158, 250.00 for a 200 level Engineering and Medical (Direct entry) student''.
