The Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED), Otto- Ijaniki, Lagos, has reviewed downward of its tuition fees following protest by its students on Monday regarding the recent hike and the release of their first semester results among other demands.
The protest came few weeks after the protest by students of the Lagos State University (LASU) over similar grievance of hike in school fees.
The management and representatives of the students met on February 3 with the Directorate of Higher Education in charge of Tertiary Institutions to resolve the disputes.
"Both parties have resolved the disputes, it was jointly agreed to reduce the tuition fee from N120,000 to N95,000," said the college's Spokesman, Mr Odunayo Adebowale.
According to him, the protest is uncalled for because the management has begun the process of resolving the disputes before some students decided to demonstrate.
Adebowale said no life was lost during the protest as security agents promptly arrived at the scene to calm the situation, adding that normalcy had returned to the campus.
However, a member of the Students’ Parliamentary Council, Mariam Salami, said the protest became necessary because most students were yet to pay their fees due to the hike.
