LASU 13th Governing Council Pledges Strategic Upgrades After Badagry Campus Inspection

The 13th Governing Council of Lagos State University has committed to targeted infrastructural and academic improvements following a thorough inspection of the University’s Badagry Campus on Wednesday, 18th February 2026.

The visit was part of the Council’s ongoing campus tour under the leadership of its Chairman, Babatunde Ogala, following an earlier inspection of the Main Campus, Ojo.

Welcoming the delegation, the Director of the LASU School of Basic and Advanced Studies (LASUSBAS), Prof. Yunus Dauda, outlined recent milestones, including the construction of two cafeterias, establishment of a Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre, procurement of a 1KVA generator, installation of solar-powered lighting in hostels and lecture halls, furnishing of seminar rooms, acquisition of a high-capacity RISO machine, and deployment of 40 CCTV cameras to enhance security.

Prof. Dauda noted the School’s success in JUPEB examinations, attributing it to prompt payment of tutors and examination fees, while highlighting remaining areas requiring attention to ensure improved service delivery to learners.

Responding, Mr. Ogala described the Badagry Campus as serene and steadily progressing despite its limitations. He assured staff and students that the Council would prioritise the campus’ identified needs, with tangible improvements expected in the coming weeks and months.

The inspection included a tour of the CBT Hall, where the need for a minimum 250-seat facility to meet JAMB standards was highlighted. The Council also visited the Solar Control Room, Sick Bay, laboratories, lecture rooms, and other key facilities, engaging with students to understand teaching and learning conditions firsthand.

Addressing students, Mr. Ogala emphasised the importance of discipline, integrity, and hard work, cautioning against fraud and drug abuse. Drawing from his professional journey, he encouraged students to uphold upright conduct as the foundation for sustainable success.

The campus tour will continue at the Ikeja Campus on Monday, 23rd February 2026, as the 13th Governing Council sustains its commitment to strengthening infrastructure and advancing academic excellence across Lagos State University.
