LASU To Refund Students N69million From School Fees

The information reaching our desk indicates that the authorities of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo have concluded plans to refund all students who have paid for the 2013/ 2014 academic session school fees, all payments in excess of the new school fees regime.

The LASU Governing Council had directed that students should be refunded the over N69 million school fees they paid, after the decision of the state government to reduce school fees.

Announcing this new development, the LASU Public Relations Officer (PRO), Kayode Sutton stated,

“In compliance with this directive, the bursary department has been charged to commence the compilation of the list of affected students, the amount involved and to proffer an appropriate mode of refund.”

It will be recalled that the Lagos State government has reduced the LASU school fees , which was hiked some years ago by 34 to 60 percent, depending on faculties following persistent protests from the students over the tuition hike.
