In a press statement made available to SaharaReporters, the students demanded that:
The management should conduct exams every 3 months, because since 2012 LASUES has conducted only 3 examinations.
They also demanded that they be properly taught by lecturers from their main campuses and not by "road-side lecturers", and further that the lecture environment be made conducive for studying.
Management stop collecting ID card fees from them, as they have not been issued any valid ID cards.
Students also demanded the immediate issuance of letters of admission to students who have not been issued ID cards since 2009, to prove enrollment.
The students also demanded the immediate reduction of their tuition fees.
