The call was made by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bidemi Lafiaji-Okuneye, during a security summit organized by LASUED in Otto-Ijanikin, Lagos. She emphasized that as major stakeholders, it is imperative to join hands to nurture the promising citadel of learning.

Prof. Lafiaji-Okuneye stressed the need to curb social misdemeanours and ensure the university’s survival, growth, and flourishing. She said, “We can objectify these goals only if we go at it with all hands on deck. Our collective protection of the university is necessary so that by the time the child becomes the father of the man, our names will be written in gold, and we will be happy that we are part of the success story.”
