After several backlashes from students, parents and
other stakeholders, the management of Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH),
Ogbomoso, on Friday finally reviewed downward the
increase in students’ fees it announced earlier.
The institution had through a statement announced
that indigenes of Oyo and Osun states were to pay
N200,000 while non-indigenes will pay N250,000
from the 2018/19 session.
LAUTECH, which is jointly owned by both Oyo and
Osun states, was established over two decades ago.
The institution it was learnt had made a u-turn by
reviewing the new fees downward.
The university through a mail addressed to
students on Friday from the office of the Registrar,
Jacob Agboola, said the school fees had been
reviewed downward.
While indigenes are now to pay N140,000 per
session, non-indigenes on the other hand would pay
N170,000.
The statement reads, “This is to inform all
students that after an extensive and exhaustive
consultations with stakeholders, the Governing
Council has magnanimously directed that the
tuition fees payable by all students with effect from
the 2018/2019 Academic Session be reviewed as
follow:
“Indigenes of the Owner-States of Oyo and Osun
(100-500-Level ): N140,000.00 per session.
“Non-indigenes (100-500-Level) : N170,000.00 per
session.
“Please note that the resumption date for the
2018/2019 Harmattan Semester remains Monday,
October 29, 2018”.
