UNILAG is one of the first-generation universities in Nigeria. It has remained one of the most competitive in the country in terms of admissions.
It is understood that UNILAG admits over 9,000 undergraduate students annually.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that UNILAG reduced its school fees after meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The meeting was held on Thursday, September 14.
Folasade Ogunsola, the Vice Chancellor (VC) of UNILAG, chaired the meeting, which also had in attendance the NANS President, Usman Barambu.
The university’s spokesperson, Adejoke Alaga-Ibrahim, announced the reduction of the obligatory fees for students, utility bills, convocation fees, and others.
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, former senator of Kaduna Central District, Shehu Sani, declared his support for recent protest held by the institution's students against tuition hike.

Sani commended the students for the protest and urged other Nigerian undergraduates to emulate them.
UNILAG had earlier revealed it spends over N1.7 billion annually on electricity bills amid the harsh economic realities in the country. This, it said, informed the tuition hike.
At a virtual briefing on Saturday, September 9, Ogunsola said even if the 35,000 student population of the university pays up the new rate, it would amount to about N800 million.
