The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) has announced a strict new policy that affects all students who fail to pay their tuition fees on time. This update is already causing concern across campus — and for good reason. 📌 What's the New Policy? Starting from May 11, 2025 , students who do not pay their tuition fees within the stipulated period will incur a ₦1,000 penalty every two days. This fee continues to accumulate until payment is completed. As of today, May 16, 2025 , the late registration penalty has already reached ₦3,000 , and it will keep rising until June 15, 2025 , when the university portal will be closed for tuition payments. ⏳ What Does This Mean? The late registration fee is not tied to course registration ; instead, it is added directly to the tuition fee . This means students will pay both their original tuition and the accumulated penalty before they can proceed.  🧾 Why This Matters For many students, this could mean added financia...

Let’s be honest—attending every class in school is easier said than done. While the rules are clear and attendance often affects grades, many students still struggle to show up consistently. But why is that? As a student, I’ve seen and experienced several reasons that go beyond just “laziness.” And maybe it’s time we look at the deeper issues. 1. Early Morning Lectures A lot of students live off-campus and have to wake up as early as 5 AM just to make an 8 AM lecture. With little or no transportation support and unpredictable traffic, it’s not always possible to be on time—or even make it at all. 2. Poor Class Engagement Let’s be real: if a lecturer only reads slides for two hours or doesn’t interact with the class, students lose interest. Nobody wants to sit through a class where they feel they’re not learning anything new or meaningful. 3. Mental Health & Burnout Many students are dealing with stress, anxiety, or even depression—but hardly talk about it. When your mind is heavy, ...
