Ex-Lagos State University Vice-Chancellor Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello has clarified her remarks on students' tuition fees, following their misinterpretation in media reports. Her spokesman, Emmanuel Adeyemi, stated that Olatunji-Bello did not suggest students or their parents should pay N1m annually for university education. Adeyemi emphasized that the former VC was discussing the estimated cost of providing quality undergraduate education, advocating for innovative and diversified funding sources for universities.
Olatunji-Bello's statement was made in the context of Nigerians' desire for university education comparable to international standards, which she believed cost approximately N1m per student annually. Adeyemi urged the public, media, and education stakeholders to consider the full context of her remarks rather than isolated excerpts that could create a different impression of her position.
