LASG increases boarding school fee from N35,000 to N100,000 per term
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has increased the boarding fee for public boarding schools in Lagos to N100,000 per term amid the ongoing economic hardship in the country.
The new fee, which is an upward review from the initial N35,000 payable in all public boarding schools in the state, represents an almost 300% increase.
In a circular released by the Lagos state government through the ministry of basic and secondary education, the government directed all boarding school principals to implement the new fee as students prepare for the 2024/2025 academic session.
