 Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the removal of application fees for scholarships and bursaries offered by the Lagos State Scholarship Board (LSSB). This decision aligns with the administration’s THEMES Plus Agenda initiative aimed at promoting youth empowerment and social inclusion.


In response to this significant decision, the LSSB Secretary, Mr. AbdurRahman Lekki expressed gratitude for the Governor’s support, emphasising the long-term benefits of investing in the education of the state’s youth.


According to him, the initiative aims to foster inclusivity and alleviate the financial burden on students seeking higher education.


“Previously, applicants were required to pay application fees ranging from ₦2,500 for bursaries to ₦5,000 for PhD scholarships”, he recalled.


Lekki noted that eliminating these fees addresses concerns raised by stakeholders regarding access to educational opportunities, particularly for economically disadvantaged students.


He further explained that the revenue generated from these fees constituted only 0.5% of the agency’s total budget, reinforcing the justification for their removal.


In his words, “Governor Sanwo-Olu’s decision highlights a strong commitment to equitable education and strengthens his government’s reputation as a supportive administration for youth”.


Lekki also extended his appreciation to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Mr. Waheed Kasali and the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr. Tolani Sule, for their invaluable support in achieving this milestone.


Looking ahead, the Board’s Secretary anticipates that this kind gesture will encourage more students to pursue higher education, ultimately contributing to the state’s economic development.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
