Activities at the office of the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, were yesterday paralyzed by students of Lagos State University External System,LASUES, over alleged fraudulent practices by the school authorities and mass failure by the students.
This came barely a month after Fashola reversed the tuition fee for the students to N25,000. However, the external system students were excluded from the fees cut.
The students defied the scorching sun to storm Alausa secretariat office of the governor at about 10.00 am and barricaded the entrance, demanding that Governor Fashola meet their demands before they would vacate the premises.
Vehicles that approached the governor's office during the period were forced to turn back.
The students, who were armed with placards, some of which read: 'APC government has failed us'; 'Lack of proper academic calendar, missing scripts and withheld results, increment in tuition and poor management, Fashola please save us'

You are one of us yet you are being mean to us," Tanko said. "Me? Mean to you? How? When you cheated me yesterday, did you not think you were mean? Now you went to pluck oranges that I opened your eyes to without me, did you not think you are being mean? Now, hear what you are saying?" Bawa said. "So what do you want?" asked Tanko. "We are all brothers." "We are not brothers, I am Maitabba's son and you ....
