LASU Student Union Direct Students Not To Pay New Tuition Fees

The Students Union of the Lagos State University (LASU) on Thursday, July 3, directed its members not to pay the new tuition fees until a further reduction was made by the state government.

The Union’s President, Nurudeen Yusuf, who signed a press statement said that the tuition fee was high, in view of the economic situation of the state, when compared to the relative fees payable in other universities across the country.
"Following the meeting, the union resolved that students should resume with immediate effect but strongly warns that no student should pay the fee, until further notice," the statement said.
It, however, called for the reduction or withdrawal of some charges such as: acceptance fee, tuition, caution and field trip/teaching practice levy.
According to the statement, other charges the students requested for reduction include laboratory and practical/workshop/studio work.

This was sequel to protests from the students and civil society groups.

On June 20, the University’s Governing Council had released a breakdown of the new tuition fees which ranged from N76,750 to N158,250.

It was against the increase in fees announced in 2011, from N25,000 to N198,000 for humanities and education, while medical students were required to pay N348,000.Read more

“I’m a big fan of Wizkid, Collaboration Might Not Happen” – Davido

The current BET Best International Act (Africa) winner, Davido has revealed that he is a big fan of Wizkid and they might not work together.

This what Davido said in a recent interview with Avante Tv: “I’m a big fan of Wizkid. We might work together, we might NOT. If we do, it’s going to be crazy no doubt.” The Singer also revealed that ‘HKN’ means ‘Honorable Kings of New-school’. When asked why HKN didn’t sign Orezi as earlier speculated, he said, “I was just hanging with Dude one day and I decided to tell him, Dude, let’s just be friends. And that was it.”

Confab Endorses Creation Of Aba, Ijebu, 17 Other States

The National Conference on Thursday voted for the creation of 18 more states in the country. The creation of new states was one of the decisions taken by the delegates at their plenary while considering the report of the Committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government.

Apart from the 18 new states proposed, the conference said a separate state-yet-to-be named should be carved out of the South-East to bring the number of the states in the zone to six.

In creating a new state from the South-East geopolitical zone, the conference said the creation would correct the imbalance of the zone having the least number of states.

In the existing 36 states arrangement, each zone has six states with only the North-West having seven states.

The new states proposed by the conference are: Aba, to be carved out of the present Abia State; Katagum, from Bauchi State; Ijebu, from Ogun State; Amana, from former Sardauna Province; Apa, from Benue State; Anioma, from Delta State, Savannah, from Borno State; and Etiti, from South-East.

Others are Njaba/Anim, from Anambra and Imo states; Gurara, from Kaduna State; Ghari, from Kano State; Adada, New Oyo from Oyo State; Orachi, from Rivers State; Ogoja, from Cross River State; and Kainji, from Kebbi and Niger states.

Two other states, one each from the South-East and South-West zones, are also yet to be named.

It was agreed by the delegates that the 18 new states would be shared among the six zones in a manner that no zone would have more states than the other.

Though it was also agreed that states were free to have their constitutions, the request to change the name of Adamawa State to Gongola State was overwhelmingly rejected by the delegates.

The delegates also voted that the Presidency should rotate among the six geopolitical zones of the country.

However, a delegate, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, condemned the decision to create more states.

He said the action was at variance with the decisions and resolutions earlier taken by the conference on the need by government to cut cost.

“Having regard to the several resolutions of the National Conference on the need to reduce the cost of governance, I found the recommendation for the creation of additional 18 states rather contradictory,” Falana said.
