Governorship candidate under platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Bisi Kolawole, has said he would slash the tuition fee of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, if elected governor comes June 18 poll
He said he was disturbed by the quantum of money being charged by the Governor Kayode Fayemi’s government in the university, saying it has gone beyond the reach of the poor.
Kolawole said: “Asking students to pay N78,000 for convocation was the height of insensitivity by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government to the plight of the people in the state”.
In a statement issued yesterday by his Media Assistant, Bola Agboola, the PDP governorship candidate called on the management of the EKSU to reduce the convocation fee to not more than N20,000
