The Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) has reaffirmed its commitment to institutional excellence by organizing the second edition of its Annual Leadership Workshop at the Senator Oluremi Tinubu Hall, Main Campus, Oto/Ijanikin, charging members of its leadership team to champion quality service delivery as a catalyst for sustainable growth and global competitiveness.
Speaking at the opening of the two-day workshop held on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th July, 2026, themed "Leadership Roles in Piloting Quality Service Delivery in the University," the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bidemi Bilkis Lafiaji-Okuneye, said the workshop was institutionalised following the remarkable success of its maiden edition in October 2025, describing it as an annual platform for strengthening leadership capacity and promoting excellence across the University.
The Vice-Chancellor recalled that since LASUED's establishment in 2022, the University has recorded remarkable milestones, most notably the historic 100 percent full accreditation of all 66 academic programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in 2024. She attributed the achievement to the dedication of staff and students, the proactive leadership of Management, the guidance of the NUC, and the unwavering support of the Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.
Reaffirming her vision of positioning LASUED as a globally competitive teacher education university within its first five years, Prof. Lafiaji-Okuneye said the University's progress has been driven by the A.C.H.I.E.V.E. Agenda— Academic Culture, Community Relations, Human Capacity Development, Infrastructural Development, Entrepreneurship, Valuable Research, and Excellence in Professionalism.
She highlighted major achievements under the agenda, including the appointment of 44 home-grown Professors and over 82 Associate Professors, the completion of modern lecture theatres at the Oto/Ijanikin and Epe campuses, the introduction of LASUED Online Radio and blended learning, as well as the University's recognition by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA) as the institution with the Best Website Operations in 2025.
In addition, Prof. Bidemi Lafiaji-Okuneye urged Deans, Directors, Heads of Departments, and Unit Leaders to actively participate in the workshop, internalise the principles of quality service delivery, and apply the knowledge gained to strengthen institutional effectiveness and position LASUED for greater global recognition.
Delivering the keynote address, Prof. Eyitope O. Ogunbodede, former Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, spoke on "Academics as Drivers of University Development and Institutional Culture," stressing that knowledge creation, preservation, dissemination, and application remain the foundation of every successful University.
