Though it gives hope to potential lasuites but it is an action that ought to have been taken from a governor that tags himself as a progressive, yet refuses the poor access to university education.
Was he not the person that instituted a panel in 2011 to probe the incessant crisis in lasu? Where has he been all these years that he now considers it as expedient. Did he consider how frustrated people that had no second chance like me when he “instigated” a 750 percent hike in tuition as ‘part of measures to ensure quality? Did they even take any feasibility study on the impact of the likely hike on students before hiking fees?
The truth is that the BRF Babatunde Raji Fashola led government is becoming jiltery of the PDP threat to their firm grip on power and finds it expedient to block the apparent loophole in its educational policy to prevent PDP from cashing in on this situation. Though some may argue that the protest by the fearless fighter who has a well founded democratic philosophy, Comrade Nurudeen Yusuf (Optimist) led Lasusu could have triggered the latest reversal but the Akeem Durojaiye led Lasusu also protested the fee hike in 2011 but it fell on deaf ears.
To me it is a belated action that ought to have been taken into consideration three years ago.
