LASU Collaborates to Launch Enhanced E-Learning Portal for GNS Courses

 The Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS) at Lagos State University (LASU) has collaborated with the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) to launch an upgraded e-Learning platform. This initiative aims to improve the learning experience and address space constraints for the large number of students enrolled in General Nigerian Studies (GNS) courses. The platform supports the hybrid teaching model as outlined in the CCMAS and BMAS curricula.
