LASU Part-Time Students Protest Fraudulent Activities by Management
Part-time students of Lagos State University, Ojo disrupted activities at the office of the Lagos State Governor as they held a protest against alleged fraudulent practices and mass failure of students by the institution management on Monday.
The students under the aegis of Lagos State University External System (LASUES) displayed placards with various inscriptions condemning the hike in their fees, non-release of examination results and poor treatment by the school authorities, among others.
The students said since 2012, LASUES had only conducted three examinations, adding that it was not in accordance with global practices on education.
Speaker of the Students Representative Council, Bolaji Azeez, said that part-time students deserved the same quality of instruction and treatment given to regular students.
He lamented the poor running of the school’s external programme, noting that such had made nonsense of the exercise.
Azeez alleged that students were not being issued identity cards and that examinations were not conducted regularly as obtained in normal academic programmes.
Special Assistant to the governor on Education and Youth Development, Mr. Hakeem Animashaun, who attended to the protesters, commended the peaceful way they had conducted themselves.
He urged them to maintain peace, saying their message would be conveyed to the governor.
Best of luck To You all…
