Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has vowed to reduce the tuition fees of the new Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUST), Ikorodu.
Sanwo-Olu stated this on Friday when he had a stop at the Ikorodu campus on his way to the commissioning of the new plant of Kimberly-Clark Factory in the Odonguyan area.
According to him, reducing the feed will make the institution bigger and the best choice in Nigeria.
Addressing the students who came out to welcome him, the Sanwo-Olu said he is committed to making Lagos State University of Science and Technology one of the best universities of choice in Nigeria.
“Great students of Lagos State University of Science and Technology. You are now a university student; it is going to work well.
“We’d continue to do what we’re doing to ensure that you finish well. JAMB has put your name (Lagos State University of Science and Technology) as a full university.
“We know you have a small concern about your school fees, we are going to look at it and we are going to bring it down. We are going to be building this university that would be bigger than even LASU very soon,” Governor Sanwo-Olu assured.
Speaking at the event, Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed optimism that the two newly approved state-owned universities would be reference points in an academic circle in no distant time.
He said the operation of the two additional universities would assist in meeting the demands and needs of the teeming youths who are craving for higher education to be future leaders and reference points not only for themselves and their families but for the nation.
Sanwo-Olu said converting former Lagos State Polytechnic to a University of Science and Technology will bring about innovative engineering, science invention and other innovations that are critical to the development of the country and state.
