Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has vowed to fulfil the three requests made by the students of Lagos State University of Science and Technology during a courtesy visit to the Institution yesterday.

Following the Governor’s supervision of the ongoing Senate/Admin building construction, the President of the Students Union Government, Balogun Aderemi, requested for four things on behalf of the students which include provision of bus, renovation of the SUG building, construction of Sporting Complex, and addressing the speculations surrounding the increment of school fees ahead of the 2022/2023 academic session.

In reaction, the Governor vowed to fulfil the first three requests while debunking the speculations surrounding school fees.

His words: “To your President’s request. He has asked for four things. Because I am a Daddy that also listens, so I will take each of them quickly.

“The first one is that he says you need a means of transportation from Isolo Campus to Ikorodu campus. Because I am here today, I will make available two big buses for you. Before the end of September, your buses will be here.

“The second request is that you want me to renovate your Students Union Building. If you go to LASU, they have the biggest Union building in this country. So be patient with me. We will first renovate the current one, but we will take time to come and build a purpose building for your Students Union.

“We are concurrently building eight mini stadia in Lagos. There is one we are building in Igbogbo. But because I am inside your campus, I will work with the office of SDG and we will see how we can, very quickly, bring a small Sporting Complex into your University.” He said

Speaking on the rumored increment of school fees, the Governor debunked the rumor while assuring the students over the affordability of the fees.

“There is no truth in that information. It is just speculations. The University has not mentioned to me that this is the fee they want to charge. Let it happen first and let me take charge. Your Governor and Daddy will not do anything that will inconvenient you.” He assured.

In addition to the students’ request, Sanwo-Olu promised to make available, free internet on campus.

“Additional thing that you did not ask for which I am going to look for how to bring is free internet service. This is to improve the quality of your internet capability. Because you are a University of Science and Technology, there is supposed to be a depository of Technology in Lagos. This should be the home of Science and Research. So internet should be the least that must be attractable and available to all of you.” He added.
