Below is the letter written by the LASUSU to the management of Lagos State University...
RE: Lagos State University Students' Union position on the increment of New students acceptance and indigienship verification fee.
The recent increment of the Lagos State University New students acceptance fee and indigienship verification fee, from 10,000 (ten thousand) naira,and 1,000 (one thousand) naira to 20,000 (twenty thousand) naira and 5,000 (five thousand) naira respectively, came as a shock to the Students' Union of LASU,for the Students' Union was never carried along in the process of the increment and our potential members shouldn't be subjected to paying a fee without the knowledge of the Students Union.
It is the unflinching position of our amiable union that this increment is unwarranted and unnecessary at this point in time,and it's our strong belief that the University management never thought of the consequences of this increment before rolling out information to the effect of the increment. We state emphatically that the management coming out with this increment at this time is a calculated attempt on the part of the management to introduce what we tag as a "Divide and rule" principle between students of the citadel of learning and the Newly admitted students,which the student union firmly and judiciously stand against.
Moreso,the Students Union found this unwarranted increment at this point in time, a calculated move by the management,for they are aware that the Students' Union leadership is currently at Abuja for a leadership training which the management approved of,and they intend to capitalise on this,to quickly introduce the payment of this increased fee by New students which is to be paid within a week, before the arrival of the Students' Union leadership.
It is also worthy of note, that this an attempt to bring back the already solved issue of school fees hike,for the increment in the acceptance fee will surely lead to an increase in the school fees of New students,which we reject in totality.
It is on this note that the Students Union state categorically that the increment cannot stand,and we urge the management to quickly revisit and reverse this obnoxious increment, to ensure the relative peace we are currently enjoying on campus continues without any form of crisis or whatsoever on campus,thus we urge the New students to stop the payment till this issue is looked into.
Aluta continua!! Victoria ascerta!
