According to the Vice Chancellor, “The focus of our administration is on cultivating innovation, critical thinking and the realization of global citizenship. We have been working, hand-in-hand, with other critical stakeholders to achieve these. LASU as a part of the world cannot be indifferent to the never-ending competitions among institutions across the globe. This is one of the reasons why we have made this 20th Convocation ceremony a priority.
“You will agree with me that the university has since distinguished herself in the comity of universities in Nigeria, with ground breaking academic researches, trainings and production of quality human capital. A particular case worth mentioning is that of 26-year-old Aderomola Adeola, a graduate of the university who recently bagged a Ph.D from the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Little wonder, LASU remains the University of choice in Nigeria. Our projection, however, is to be among the first 100 rated universities on the African continent in no distant future.”
Fagbohun, who however thanked the Governor of Lagos State and Visitor to the University, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode for his huge support to the institution in terms of provision of infrastructural facelift, among others, revealed that Ambode, would be commissioning three projects during the convocation ceremony, on Thursday, May 26, 2016.
