LASU tuition fees increased

The Lagos State Government in line with the recommendations of the visitation panel report has approved new regime of tuition fees for fresh students of Lagos State University (LASU) starting from 2011/2012 academic session.

The new tuition fees are contained in government views (white paper) on the report of the visitation panel to LASU dated September 2011, even as it directed the governing council and the Senate to take action on the implementation.
New students admitted to the College of Medicine are expected to pay the highest amount of N348,750 with N80,000 being tuition, accommodation attracts N60,000, N50,000 for laboratories/practical/workshop/studio, examinations N25,000 while acceptance fee and manuals go for N20,000 each.

How about going to the university on credit, then pay when the students get a good job? Not a bad deal.

if i talk dem go say i too dey talk..... to be candid there is nothing like this in US. here in US the government are the one responsible for the student fee and textbook. what they do is that they beg u to come n further ur education and they will be responsible for the payment. Nigeria? i just can't say anything, i only pray that it turns for the good...
