As part of the government's effort towards improving on the quality of education in Lagos state, a member of the Senate Committee on Education, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, (ACN Lagos Central), recently presented a cheque of N108 million to the Lagos State University (LASU) as grant from Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).
This was disclosed by the Media Officer of the institution, Jerry Olatunbosun in Lagos.
Olatunbosun said that the money was meant for the development of the institution.
Despite the fact that the university was located outside Senator Remi Tinubu's constituency, she said she gave the grant as a sign of love.
She said, "The bond between us, the senators representing the state at the National Assembly is a strong one that cannot be thwarted by allocations.
"We agreed on the grant; it could be the turn of another Senatorial district to make concession for my district or another tomorrow."
The senator commended her colleagues in the Senate, for supporting her in ensuring that the special intervention grant was given to the institution.
Olatunbosun said that Sen. Ganiyu Olarewaju, (ACN Lagos West) accompanied Tinubu to present the
cheque.
He said that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Obafunwa, assured that the fund would be spent judiciously.
