The National Universities Commission (NUC) Resource Assessment teams have given Lagos State University (LASU) a strong evaluation following their review of two academic programmes: the Bachelor of Arts (Education) in Music Education and the Bachelor of Education in Social Studies and Civic Education.
While the teams expressed satisfaction with the university’s performance, they also encouraged the institution to implement further enhancements to strengthen academic delivery.
During the exit meeting held last week with LASU Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, and other university officials, the NUC team leads—Prof. Grace Ekong and Prof. Hauwa Biu commended the university and awarded it high scores.
Earlier, while welcoming the assessment teams to the university’s Senate Chamber, Prof. Olatunji-Bello stated that the visit would help further enrich LASU’s academic environment and support the institution’s commitment to global standards in teaching, research, and learning.
“At LASU, our slogan is, ‘We are LASU, We are the Greatest!’ We strive to reflect that greatness in all aspects of our operations,” she said.
She emphasized that LASU, as an innovative and forward-looking institution, has made significant progress in aligning its academic programmes with international benchmarks and adopting best practices to ensure its graduates are equipped for success in a globally connected world.
The Vice Chancellor also highlighted the university’s blended learning capabilities, which allow students to participate in both physical and virtual lectures. She noted that this hybrid model is supported by a robust digital resource library.
“We are proud of the progress we’ve made and view this visit not only as validation but as an opportunity for growth. We welcome your insights, recommendations, and constructive feedback, which are crucial to continuously improving our curriculum, infrastructure, and academic delivery,” she added.
Present at the courtesy visit were key university officials, including Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Oseni Afisi; Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Adenike Boyo; Registrar, Mr. Emmanuel Fanu; Bursar, Mr. Said Babatunde Olayinka; and University Librarian, Dr. Omawumi Makinde.
