The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Monday stormed the office of the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola in Alausa, Ikeja to protest what they described as arbitrary hike in school fees at the Lagos State University (LASU).
Led by NANS South- West Coordinator, Mr. Sunday Ashefun, the students barricaded entrance to the governor’s office, calling on him to immediately reverse the hiked school fees in LASU.
They also called on the Federal Government to the honour 2010 agreements entered with Academic Staff Union of Colleges of Education (COASU) and Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), stressing that students in the nation’s institutions of higher learning must go back to school.
They called on management of tertiary institutions to reinstate all banned unions in the University of Lagos, College of Education, Ikere, Ekiti and Tai Solarin College of Education(TASCE) and others and conversion of the Higher National Diploma(HND) certificate to Bachelor of Science degree(B.Tech) in Technology.
The students called on the Federal Government to implement 26 percent budgetary allocation proposed by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and remove with immediate effect supervising minister for ministry of education before it is too late.
The students who said they are against victimization of student union leaders in LASU said they are against plans by federal and state governments to introduce new tuition fee in the various campuses.
