The management of the University of Lagos, has announced the reduction of its fees after meeting the representatives of the National Association of Nigerian Students on Thursday.

A statement made available to the newsmen on Friday morning revealed that the university held a meeting with the executives of the NANS and other faculty members on Thursday evening.

The statement also revealed that at the commencement of the meeting, Barambu highlighted the demands put forth by the students. The demands include reversal of obligatory fees, reversal of hostel fees, and reinstatement of Students’ Union Government in UNILAG.

However, Ogunsola, stressed that the aim of the University was to deliver quality education to its students regardless of class, tribe or creed.
