The Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, on Friday reiterated that the fee for the collection of the university's certificates remains N5,000 as against the purported N20,000 being spread by some faceless people.
The University said this in its official bulletin obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
It said the university management had not increased the certificate collection fee and was not considering such increment.
The bulletin said such false information was a rumour and be should discountenanced.
"The university management wishes to state categorically that the payment for the collection of the LASU certificate remains N5, 000 only and had not been increased to N20, 000.
"There is no iota of truth in such malicious, false, unfounded and baseless rumour which has gained prominence on various social media platforms and aimed at bringing the name of the university into disrepute.
"It is just a figment of imagination of the faceless people behind the rumour,’’ it said.
The bulletin urged the university community and the general public to rely on information from the university management, disseminated through the University’s official bulletin and its website.
