Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has approved a 65 percent cut in tuition fees for the state-owned Universities.
This was disclosed by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Education, Tokunbo Wahab who said the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) and Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) will benefit from the gesture.
The Universities’ Managements had proposed N195, 000 for tuition before the 65% reduction announced by Governor Sanwo-Olu.
The governor was said to have considered the present state of the nation’s economy and its impact on parents before arriving at that decision.
