LASU To Graduate 11,971 Students During 2014 Convocation



The total number of graduates LASU is producing for the 19th convocation ceremony holding on 7th August is 11, 791. The event will also feature the commissioning of the School of Transport building by Governor Babatunde Fashola. Read full details as reported by the Nation below:

The Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo will graduate 11,791 students on August 6 at its auditorium.

The 19th Convocation will graduate 3,472 Full-Time students, 5,685 from External System and 12 from Diploma programme.

The event will also feature the commissioning of the School of Transport building by Governor Babatunde Fashola on August 7.

The Vice Chancellor, Professor John Obafunwa said other projects like the University Senate Building, the Central Library and others will be duly completed, adding that there would be no abandoned project during his tenure.
He said no Honorary Degrees will be awarded at the event due to the decision made by the Visitor, Fashola, with the agreement of the Governing Council in 2012.

“The reason is because we do not want to join the bandwagon of universities that award such. Ours is a prestigious university and the first state university in Nigeria,” Obafunwa said.

He assured that the management is working towards turning challenges facing the institution to opportunities to globally celebrate its achievements.

Obafunwa also praised the contributions of the state government as well as its interest and positive disposition to the institution’s sustainable growth.




He added that the school would soon be joining the league of universities that own and operate Radio stations.
