LASU Set To Increase Tuition Fees Again

Six years after the Lagos State University (LASU) increased its tuition fee from N250 to N25,000, another increment appears to be in the offing.

The proposed increment is to shore up the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the 28-year old University and enhance the quality of its programmes.

Dean of Post-Graduate Studies Professor Babatunde Elemo, who spoke on behalf of the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof Ibiyemi Bello, said the proposed increment is inevitable.

Elemo said as a result of the university's resolve to discontinue part-time programmes, which has been one of its sources of revenue, the school would have to come up with other revenue sources, one of which is the proposed increment.

The planned increment would be done with a human face, he added.
