Part-time students of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo disrupted activities at the office of the Lagos State Governor as they held a protest against alleged fraudulent practices and mass failure of students by the institution management on Monday.
.
The students under the aegis of Lagos State University External System (LASUES) displayed placards with various inscriptions condemning the hike in their fees, non-release of examination results and poor treatment by the school authorities, among others.
.
The students said since 2012, LASUES had only conducted three examinations, adding that it was not in accordance with global practices on education.
.
Speaker of the Students Representative Council, Bolaji Azeez, said that part-time students deserved the same quality of instruction and treatment given to regular students.
.
He lamented the poor running of the school's external programme, noting that such had made nonsense of the exercise.
.
Azeez alleged that students were not being issued identity cards and that examinations were not conducted regularly as obtained in normal academic programmes.
.
Special Assistant to the governor on Education and Youth Development, Mr. Hakeem Animashaun, who attended to the protesters, commended the peaceful way they had conducted themselves.
.
He urged them to maintain peace, saying their message would be conveyed to the governor.

Best of luck To You all...
