LASU School Fees
Less than ten years ago, the tuition rates for attending LASU varied from ₦12,000 to ₦18,000, depending on the specific subject that was selected. That being said, as of the year 2025, the fees had increased to more over ₦200,000.
Your specific amount will change depending on the course of study you are enrolled in as well as whether you are enrolled in Stream 1 or Stream 2.
There are school fees for students in Stream 1 at LASU.
The tuition price for Stream 1 students is ₦90,040, and first-year students are expected to pay this amount. People who fall into this group are students who are enrolled in the standard academic program but have not received any supplementary training in entrepreneurship.
In contrast to Stream 2, which incorporates training in entrepreneurship into its curriculum, Stream 1 is only concerned with the coursework that is often required at universities. This means that students in this stream do not engage in the extra vocational or business-oriented training programs offered by the institution.
There are school fees for students in Stream 2 at LASU.
Stream 2 students are obliged to pay an extra ₦91,000 on top of their usual tuition fees. This extra price covers the Entrepreneurship Training Program, which is a fundamental component of the Stream 2 curriculum.
Unlike Stream 1, which focuses primarily on academic coursework, Stream 2 includes practical entrepreneurial training to provide students with business and vocational skills alongside their degree program. This effort is meant to boost students’ employability and entrepreneurial thinking, preparing them for both the job market and self-employment prospects.
