LASU STUDENTS, WORLD CLASS STUDENTS

The leadership of the Lagos State University (LASU) headed by the illustrious Professor Olaranwaju Adigun Fagbohun has declared and assured in a statement this morning at the LASU community that the Lagos Varsity,  Ojo  is working laborously to produce World Class student who would 'compete favourably in all rampifications with the very best in the World'.

Mr.  Jeariogbe, Olaniyi (JerrySam) of the Center for Information, Press and Public Relations , CIPPR has confirmed this in a brief interview. In confirmation, the National Universities Commission has also vindicated this in their 2016 ranking where LASU rose to 11th and Covenant maintained 13th.  Mr. Jeariogbe has said LASU 's aim is first to third as the New Year progresses. Acting head of the CIPPR, Mr. Ademola Adekoya has also corroborated its veracity.

The VC's full message according to the LASU bulletin in highlighted below.


Our very Dear World Class Students, Happy New Year to you all. I hope you have enjoyed a restful break and had some fun with Families and Friends.

I thank you all for your contribution towards the continuing success of our great institution. I have no doubt that 2017 will surely bring us the opportunity of more success. Permit to highlight few salient issues :

  CURRENT ACADEMIC SESSION
The 2016/2017 Academic Session is already ongoing. Lectures commenced for returning students on Monday, 14th November, 2016, while that for fresh students commenced on Monday, 21st November, 2016. Now that we are back from Christmas and New Year break, lectures are expected to resume for all students on Tuesday, 3rd January, 2017. "Examinations have been scheduled to start from Monday, 13th February, 2017 and end on Friday, 3rd March, 2017. The Implication of the above is that, we do not have the luxury of time for any form of distraction. All hands must be on deck.




INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES

As I have always emphasized, the LASU of our dream is that of a University that can compete favorably in all ramifications against the very best in the World. One of the things that make a University is the quality of its infrastructure and facilities. In this regard, the University is currently renovating its facilities across Faculties.

We will continue to aggressively work on these facilities in the weeks and months ahead. The efforts of our very respected Deans, Head of Departments, the Director of Academic Planning and her team and other members of staff must also be commended. The sustainability of these efforts lie in the hands of our very dear students. In coming months, we do not want to have to replace the new ones we just purchased but rather add to them, while also embarking on new developmental projects. To achieve this, we all must conform to acceptable global practices. We must not "turn the desk to the chair by sitting on them" or deface them with posters. We must use all these facilities as civilized individuals. One of the things we will be doing to ensure the success of this bison is to constantly engage with Students' Union Leaders, and Faculty and Departmental Students' Representatives. You are all key to this vision.

           OUR STANDARDS
          This is all about us, our University and our desire to ensure we make LASU the best. Maintaining our University's high standards and reputation takes a joint effort and I am looking forward to each and every one of us to continue to add value. I will continue to keep you informed and updated on developments throughout the year.

Best wishes.

We are LASU, We are Proud.



Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun,

Vice Chancellor.
