Ex-LASU VC’s N1m fee remark misinterpreted – Spokesperson

Ex-LASU Vice-Chancellor Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello's remarks regarding the N1m fee for students in public universities have been misinterpreted, according to her media aide, Emmanuel Adeyemi. In a recent statement, Adeyemi clarified that Olatunji-Bello did not suggest that students or their parents must pay the entire N1m annually for university education.

Instead, she was discussing the estimated cost of providing quality undergraduate education, which she believed to be around N1m per student annually. Adeyemi emphasized that Olatunji-Bello advocated for innovative and diversified funding sources for universities to achieve financial sustainability. He urged the public, media, and education stakeholders to consider the full context of her remarks, rather than isolated portions that could lead to a different interpretation of her position.
