it was coming at a time that the university was experiencing a
dramatic-turn around.’’ Fagbohun said that the installation of the
university’s chancellor would also take place during the ceremony. “The
positive turn around within the university was the handiwork of the
Lagos State Government under the leadership of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode.
“The university will forever be grateful to the hardworking governor of
our noble state. “The projects, most of which are at advantage stages
of construction, will not only add aesthetics and class to the
architectural landscape of the institution, they will also add to the
value of the quality of teaching and learning in the University,’’ he
said.
Fagbohun listed the completed projects to be inaugurated to include: the
N1.068billion Faculty of Science building, the N40 million LASU Radio
station and the twin lecture Theatre at the Faculty of Law. He said the
on-going projects include: the university’s senate building, the
ultra-modern central university library, the ultra-modern students’
union complex. Also, there is the School of Communication and three
blocks of 12 flats each for lecturers’ accommodation.
Fagbohun urged well-meaning Nigerians to emulate donors like Chief
Adebutu Kessington, Jim Ovia, B.O. Benson, late Chief Molade Okoya
Thomas and others by donating generously to the growth and development
of the university. He charged the graduands to complete their bio-data
and clearance as scheduled
