Lagos State University About

The Lagos State University (LASU), located at Ojo, was established as a Public University in 1983 by the enabling law of Lagos State.

History

Established with the vision of pursuing the advancement of learning and academic excellence, the university has been unrelenting in the pursuit of its mission of becoming a citadel of learning, a community with the trademark of excellence in teaching, research and service to humanity, a catalyst as well as an agent for development.

Education

Lagos has always enjoyed a premier and pre-eminent position in the history of education in Nigeria; notwithstanding that, the state has oftentimes been referred to as backward because of its low number of indigenous population in schools. However, as part of the effort to reverse the low school attendance trend in the state, a major step was taken to establish LASU during the Administration of Alhaji Lateef Jakande as the first Executive Governor of Lagos State.

Research

From the middle of 1984, the Lagos State Government continued to put in place machinery for the smooth the formal take-off of teaching and research activities in the new institution. The Faculties of Law and Humanities, Education and Science were established with the plan not to admit more than one thousand students.

Honest review

Overall, I’d say my experience was okay .not amazing, not terrible. Some lecturers were great and really cared, but others just read off slides. The workload was manageable if you stayed on top of things. Social life was good, and I met some great people. The main issues were slow admin responses and sometimes confusing deadlines. Would I recommend it? Yeah, but go in knowing you’ll need to be independent and ask for help when you need it.
