Lagos State University (LASU) has received good news – the National Universities Commission (NUC) has given accreditation to 44 of its courses. This happened after the NUC conducted an assessment in October and November 2023.
The Vice-Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, announced this in a statement shared with the media on Tuesday in Lagos. She said that out of the 44 courses assessed, 43 got full accreditation, while only one course, ‘Computer Science Education’, got interim accreditation.
