Former LASU vice-chancellor’s aide says N1m education remark was misunderstood
An aide to former Lagos State University Vice-Chancellor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello says a comment involving N1m was misinterpreted. According to the aide, the remark referred to the cost of providing quality education, not a proposed or existing fee charged to students at the university.
An aide to former Lagos State University Vice-Chancellor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello has disputed the interpretation of a remark involving N1m. The aide said the comment had been misinterpreted. According to the explanation, Olatunji-Bello was referring to the cost of providing quality education rather than saying that students paid, or should pay, a N1m fee.
The clarification addresses the meaning attached to the former vice-chancellor’s statement. It does not provide the full wording of the original remark or explain where and when it was made. The aide also did not give further details about the university’s fee structure, the reaction that prompted the clarification or whether the institution had issued a separate statement.
The available information therefore centres on the distinction drawn by Olatunji-Bello’s spokesperson: the N1m figure was presented as an estimate connected with the cost of quality education, not as a student charge. No additional financial figures or policy proposals are included in the supplied material.
