Our Parent dont know how to calculaten in %: LASU Students decline School fee reduction by Governor Fashola



Lagos state University students have rejected Governor Fashola's proposed 34% and 60% across the various faculties and courses decrease in school fees.
 
At a media conference held yesterday June 12th in Ogba, the President of LASU Student Union Government, Nurudeen Yusuf, said their state government should spell out the proposed new fees in Naira and Kobo as opposed to this percentage as their parents who're in charge of the payments don't know how to calculate in percentage.
"We do not accept the 34 to 60% reduction of the government because in 2011 when the fees were increased, it was not done on percentage level; rather, they made the pronouncement in Naira and Kobo. We urge the government to come out in words as to how much will be paid by our students in Naira and Kobo and not in percentage. How do they expect our parents, the market women scrambling to pay our fees, to calculate the percentage? The government is only trying to play games with our future. We question their sincerity on this matter because the pronouncement of the fee was as a result of a visitation panel set up by the government of which the report was selectively adopted" Yusuf said
