At the office of the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, were yesterday Overwhelmed by students of Lagos State University External System,LASUES, over alleged fraudulent practices by the school authorities and mass failure by the students.
This came barely a month after Fashola reversed the tuition fee for the students to N25,000. However, the external system students were excluded from the fees cut.
The students ignore the harsh sun to storm Alausa secretariat office of the governor at about 10.00 am and barricaded the entrance, demanding that Governor Fashola meet their demands before they would vacate the premises.
The students, who were armed with placards, some of which read: ‘APC government has failed us’; ‘Lack of proper academic calendar, missing scripts and withheld results, increment in tuition and poor management, Fashola please save us’.
The students also made it clear that LASUES had only conducted three examinations which the protesters said was not in tune with global practices in education.
