The meeting was held on Thursday, September 14.
Folasade Ogunsola, the Vice Chancellor (VC) of UNILAG, chaired the meeting, which also had in attendance the NANS President, Usman Barambu.

UNILAG: Shehu Sani speaks on tuition hike
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, former senator of Kaduna Central District, Shehu Sani, declared his support for recent protest held by the institution's students against tuition hike.
Sani commended the students for the protest and urged other Nigerian undergraduates to emulate them.
UNILAG justifies increment in school fees
UNILAG had earlier revealed it spends over N1.7 billion annually on electricity bills amid the harsh economic realities in the country. This, it said, informed the tuition hike.
At a virtual briefing on Saturday, September 9, Ogunsola said even if the 35,000 student population of the university pays up the new rate, it would amount to about N800 million.
