LASUED to Honor Sanwo-Olu and Obasa at Convocation

The Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) will honor six individuals, including Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Speaker of the State House of Assembly Mudasiru Obasa, at its maiden convocation. Vice-Chancellor Prof. Bidemi Lafiaji-Okuneye announced this during a pre-convocation press conference.

The awards recognize the honorees for their exceptional contributions to scholarship, leadership, and public service, particularly in the transformation of the institution from a college of education into a university. Sanwo-Olu played a crucial role by signing the bill establishing the university on February 2, 2022.

The convocation, scheduled for next Thursday, will see 2,486 students graduate, with Blessed Olawunmi from the Department of Home Economics being the overall best graduating student, achieving a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.98. She will receive N250,000 and a plaque.

The university has also achieved full accreditation for all 66 programs presented in the last quarter of 2024.
