Announcing the reduction at a press conference yesterday in Alausa Ikeja, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai Olukoga said after much deliberations by the adhoc committee set up by the Governor to look into all the grey areas of the proposed new fees, the Governor yesterday adopted the committees recommendations and approved the reductions.
“Government agrees that with the subsidized tuition fees and appropriate moderation of incidental fees, a reduction ranging from 34% to 60% is possible across the different faculties and courses. Government has therefore approved the reductions and, in accordance with the law setting up the university, forwarded its approval to the institution’s Governing Council for implementation. The council will issue details of what is now payable by students in each department" Olukoga said
Olukoga also said the reduction in fees would not
affect the state government's release of research fund, scholarship, bursary provisions and promised that the government's spending on
infrastructure and physical development of LASU will continue.

I have said it time and again, this guy deserves a shot at the presidency. He is a model leader.
good of him. But let him please do something about the ASUP strike ,i pray God helps him.
He has done well, wish Benue state Govt can take a cue from this and resolve the issue which has kept students at home for over 9months.
That of Polytechnics seems a forgotten issue.

i love this man, he is down to earth, may God continue to bless him. He is a blessing to Lagos State government and the people involved
Y isnt this guy running for 2015 presidential election???? He is a good leader
I love the guy too but it took him a long time to listen (for all you praising him), shouldn't students or youths generally have the governor's ear? Destiny's have been delayed and probably altered due to time wasted.
I ♡ Fashola
He is a nice man. Well done Sir
Fvcking Hypocrites,,,yall wouldnt ask why the school fees were put up so high in the first place now yall clapping,,,when the price of fuel was hiked and reduced to 97 naira due to mass protest,,,did you people say Jonathan was a listening president? fucking hypocrites.

Is this reduction based on increased fees or is it based on the fees before it was increased?

God bless u sir. Sometimes its nt about d political party but d individuals
I love this man so much!Fashola 4 presidency!!!
Good man may God bless u
Gov. Fashola has a good heart, unlike Gov. T. A. Orji of Abia state that asked Police to throw tear gas on us when our school fees was increased, and we went to Protest at Govt. House Umuahia. That was in my 2nd at ABSU, we saw hell that day....lol. And he still increased the fees again, after then. May God help Abia state.
Best among the rest. Thank you ur Excellency.
Wow what a great guy.

Much better than Remi Tinubu's response that school fees are high abroad and that's why they have students loans. She didn't think it would make more sense if the student loan was made available first before the outrageous increase in fees. Good job BRF
this man should be our president .he will change this country pls people lets us start a movement
FASHOLA FOR PRESIDENT
fashola should be our next president
this man will do better than jonathan ? i think he will bring nigeria back to its feet

April 14 to june 11 is how long it took him to come to a conclusion. Hmmmm n didn't give an actual figure. All I can say is this is all for ekiti elections coming up in ten days & also to still kip lagos in apc. A listening leader gbaa
So mr governor how long wud it take governing council to release d new school fee.
Benue state should learn from Lagos State. You have DAVID MARK, ABBA MORO and so many top Benue leaders but they are not bothered about the people. Their is God ooooooooo
Good to hear that..

This is lovely. I am happy for the students. Lindyway paste my comment o. Shuoo!!! U dey beef me?
Fashola has got the quality of an excellent leader. Good one!
Remi Tinubu's statement was quite shameful.
I weep 4 hypocrites like Linda and her co supporters on dis blog. Listening governor indeed y him increase ham in d first place imagine state school paying 250k as schl fees hw much was fashola paying during his days. I'm sure some fools commenting here dat he shld go 4 presidency dnt even read news beyond wat Linda post here.
Kudos to him....
A true leader. Come get the presidential ticket from me already
Good for d lasu students,linda pls pls help the poly students but hammering to hear of the masses that asup as been on strike 4 d past eleven months,destinies are wasting away. Media should help us fedgovt nd asup are not considering we d student @ all.
At last thank God
Because ppl don't want a Muslim-Muslim ticket.....they'd rather vote for an incompetent ignoramus as long as he/she's from their tribe or religion
When GEJ is working linda says "no need to praise him that is what he was voted for"
now BRF increase n decrease school fee he is being praised
why the hailing?
Now this is news. Am happy for LASU students.
This is the kind of leader we need in Nigeria. Fashola is a reformist, a man of substance and a leader that apparently listens! If Fashola was president Boko Haram does not stand a chance! Fashola for PRESIDENT!!!!! I just respect this man so much!
FASHOLA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!
For increasing tuition fees without consideration of the economic realities of the country,now as gullible as we are,we are now clamoring for his presidency.these is why the nation is captive by the political class its a shame!!!
You must be the jobless one that is counting d seconds! Idiot!!!!
Abeg all you social-media adept people help me start a twitter handle or sth saying #fashola4president2015. We need intelligent strategic people running this country biko
Please I want to ask, how much in exact figures? You increased something several times then after a long time reduced the astronomical fees by a fraction... and dumb nigerians are here having orgasms over bullshit.., smh... things will never get better. Small statistustics and dem don confuse una... u guys lost! Lasg wins!
I love my governor...dats what i love abt my yoruba governor we look for peace not chaos. EKO O NI BAJE SIR...EPE FUNWA
Why was d sch fees inconsiderably increased in d first place . Fashola dt was a very clever political move, a very intelligent one at dt .
Lagos state university was established in order to serve the education needs of Lagosians. That is why the admission quota is 70% Lagosians, 30% other states. It was non residential in order to minimise running cost since most students were expected to be Lagosians. The founding fathers envisioned a university that would produce ALL the professionals needed to develop the state. The university trained students at little cost to make it affordable for everyone. It was expected that subsequent governments would increase investments in the university in order to maintain high standards. They felt that training civil engineers to construct our roads was better than utilising foreign companies. They felt training medical doctors was better than travelling abroad for medicals. After intense agitations by staff/students of the university in 2010, a visition panel was constituted. The visitation panel was to look into how the quality of education offered at LASU could be improved. The panel as part of its findings decried the poor state of infrastructures at the university.The panel recommended an increase in budgetary allocation to the UNESCO recommended 26% Followed by an increase in tuition fees in order to meet up with funding required at the university. The LASG responded by increasing subventions by 33% and tuition fees between 700%-1200%. The actions of the government negates the idea of the founders of the university. If LASG wants a university for the rich, They should establish one. LASU was established for the poor! #SaveLASU #bringlasufeesdownnow

Stop spreading rumours what u just said about the benue state govt is a Big fat lie
A good leader with a good heart....he has really done well by giving a listening ears to the cries of the students.He might have choose to let it slip without doing anyfin....but he just proved himself that he has compassion for the masses.You have done well Sir,God will continue to uphold you.i just wish he can adopt me as one of his children.
Thanx @ anon 11:04am, finally some1 with grey matter.
no mind these jobless peooples dt call themselves libers they always make this blog sucks sometimes
In any developed society that want d progress of youths and the country growth, this is what supposed to be done. by given
listening ear to the people like what His EXCELLENCE GOVERNOR babatunde Fashola did.we are happy to return back to class, more power to his elbow
Finally. .. thnk u baba oo
listening ear my foot.....linda state d exact amount b4 we can discuss dis issue....hypocrites,,,,,n u Linda u are quick to praise anytin dat happens wit dis APC hypocrites,,,election is by d corner,,politicians no fit fool me..
Face Reality! Is it sensible to set fee above the earning of a government worker? Please give an excuse! How many staff under LASG can pay such fee for his children from his salaries lest you talk of common Nigerian artisan? Please create another school for the RICH KIDs to fund, let Tax payer fund LASU.
Bull shit, we should be talking of free education and not school fees hike. Nonsense, BRF remove every increment.
