Police deploy APCs in LASU Featured
The Lagos State police Command has deployed Armoured Personnel Carriers in the state university over students’ protest.
The students, who were protesting the hike in their tution fee, however, said they would not relent in their struggles to reject the hike.
They warned banks in the school’s campuses not to receive payments from any students of parents.
It was gathered that the students also locked out the Vice Chancellor, Professor John Obafunwa, accusing him of being part of their suffering.
The President of the Student Union Government, Mr. Durojaiye Akeem said the increment did not go through due process.
He said. “The ad hoc committe of the state House of Assembly is yet to come out with its report.”
Meanwhile, the Education Right Campaign, National Association of Nigerian Students, National Association of Lagos Mainland Students and the Joint Action Front have condemned the increment in tution.
The groups said the government had no right to instruct the students to pay the fee when the committee set up by the House of Assembly was yet to submitted its report.
ERA said, “It is indeed saddening that this is coming from the Action Congress of Nigeria which lay claims to late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s philosophy of free education.
