Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has announced 25 per cent reduction in tuition fee for students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso.
Makinde made the announcement during a thank you visit to the students of the institution, on Tuesday.
The governor said that the reduction will cut across board, adding that he is making such move despite the tuition fee of LAUTECH being the lowest in the South West region.
He maintained that he has fulfilled his electioneering campaign, having fixed the Under-G road and actualised the sole ownership of LAUTECH for Oyo state.
“Let me tell you, the LAUTECH fee is still the lowest in the entire South West. Having said that, I will reduce your fee across the board; whether indigenes or non-indigenes, even new students. There will be a reduction of 25 per cent across board,” Makinde said.
