Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state announced on Thursday at the 19th convocation ceremony, the reversal of the Lagos State University fee from 350,000 to 25,000 which was the old rate, led to the student who were protesting for further reduction in their fee to go into
jubilation.
The Governor said in his speech that the reduction is done with the approval of the state executive council. He said as a result of this reduction the university would run an uninterrupted academic calendar as the era of students spending extra days from their expected four
years was over in the institution.
The student union president, Mr. Nurudeen Yusuf in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria commended Fashola for his kind gesture. He said;

"Today marks a significant day in the history of Lagos, with this

development, we are optimistic that the future of Lagos will be

great".

 

In an interview with a student of LASU, Abdulahi Opeyemi, she said she is so happy about the reduction, that even though they have suffered enough on the issue of the reduction, they will now enjoy.

 

Bola Oladele, a student of LASU also said that Fashola has proved that he is a listening leaders by wiping tears of the LASU students, she said it was unexpected because we were expecting reduction should be 46,000 but the Governor surprised us by making a total reversal to 25,000.

 

This implies that no pain, no gain we have suffered enough for the fee but now Governor Fasola made us happy.
