Lagos University admits 12,873 out of over 50,000 applicants

The Lagos State University (LASU) has granted admission to 12,873 students out of over 50,000 applicants for its 2023/2024 session.

This was made known by the Vice Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello at the institution’s matriculation ceremony which was held Wednesday, February 28, on its main campus in Ojo, Lagos.

The VC, who told the students to count themselves lucky to be in the university, noted their welfare is a priority and that the school will not relent in its efforts to ensure that the learning environment remains conducive and competitive for learning.

She assured them of safety on campus, adding that adequate security measures have been put in place.

The don urged the new students to report any suspicious activities to the necessary authorities.

The VC, who was represented by Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Prof. Adenike Boyo, enjoined the students to abide by the rules and regulations of the university and be committed to their studies.

She said: “The university has zero tolerance for cultism, avoid examination malpractices, do away with corruption and hooliganism and other vices that can expose you to danger as those found culpable will be dealt with in line with our disciplinary mechanisms. Be regular in attending lectures, carry out all your assignments; and shun deviant behaviour.”

Olatunji-Bello stressed that the university under her administration has zero tolerance for Sexual and Gender-based Violence, and that informed the decision to establish the Directorate of Response and Preventive of Sexual and Gender-based Violence.

She added: “Do not keep silent when you are harassed or assaulted in any manner. If you see something, say something.   Show respect to your colleagues and staff in the university to make your stay successful and productive.”

The VC restated the university’s commitment to grooming competent and globally relevant students.

She noted: “Lagos State University is a student-centered University. It is a place for the grooming of generational leaders.

We take pride in training students for life. We are focused on the character development of our students. This is based on the hope that when you graduate, you will contribute meaningfully to developmental discourses around the globe.”
