SLagos State University (LASU), through its Centre for the Actualisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (LASU-SDG), on Friday, 6th November 2026, held an orientation programme for its newly admitted postgraduate students at the S.L. Edu Lecture Theatre, Faculty of Science.
Welcoming the students, the Assistant Director of LASU-SDG, Professor Olayemi SHOLADOYE, who represented the Director, Professor Tayo AJAYI, disclosed that thirty-nine (39) students had been admitted into the Centre’s three postgraduate programmes for the 2026/2027 Academic Session. She congratulated the students on their admission and warmly welcomed them to the University.
In his remarks, the Dean of the Postgraduate School, Professor Ibrahim Olawale OLATEJU, congratulated the students on their admission and expressed appreciation to them for choosing LASU for their postgraduate studies. He also commended the Director and staff of LASU-SDG for their commitment and efforts in administering the postgraduate programmes.
Speaking on the admission process, the Dean explained that applications received by the Centre were subjected to screening, after which qualified candidates were recommended to the Postgraduate School for further processing and the issuance of admission letters. He urged the students to upload their academic credentials promptly to the LASU Central Admission Clearance Application (LACACA) portal to enable the University’s ICT Unit to verify their results.
Addressing concerns regarding the acceptance and verification of O’Level results, Professor OLATEJU explained that although the University recognises certificates from several examination bodies, candidates with qualifications obtained outside Nigeria might need to contact his office for assistance with the verification process. He encouraged the students not to be discouraged by challenges associated with the online platform, assuring them that the University had provisions for addressing certain deficiencies relating to O’Level results.
On registration procedures, the Dean explained that students would undergo credential verification before being issued their matriculation numbers and proceeding with the payment of school fees. He particularly reminded students who had previously studied at LASU to retain their existing matriculation numbers rather than apply for new ones.
The Dean further emphasised that the University operates a fully online academic system, noting that proper registration was essential for students to access their academic records and results. He advised them to channel their complaints and enquiries through their respective programme coordinators and the Director of LASU-SDG before escalating unresolved matters to the Postgraduate School. He assured the students that his office remained accessible to those requiring assistance.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by the Administrative Secretary of LASU-SDG, Mr Femi AKERELE, who expressed appreciation to the speakers, organisers and students for their presence and active participation.
We are LASU, We are Great!
