Good day, all.
I’m a First class graduate of the department of Transport Management and Operations, School of Transport and Logistics, Lagos State University. I just got back from camp and I’m need of a PPA relevant to my discipline.

I really want to experience what it feels like to study on a fully funded scholarship

You just need one trend, one connect, one gig, one call, one text, one person, one yes to make it.

Have you found your one?

Indeed, the end of an era.

[Lagos State University @LASUOfficial]

My Dear LASU Family,

I write to you for the last time as the 9th Substantive Vice-Chancellor and the second female Vice-Chancellor of our great University.

Today, I close a chapter of my life that has been one of the most defining of my career, not because it gave me any personal accomplishment to boast about, but because it gave me the greatest platform I have ever had to serve, contribute and make an impact on people and an institution that mean so much to me.

I remember with vivid clarity the morning of 16 September 2021, when I received the call informing me of my appointment as Vice-Chancellor. Four days later, I assumed office with a clear vision and the conviction that, working together, the LASU community would achieve great things.

Even so, I could not have imagined the scale of transformation that LASU would experience over the next five years.

We watched our programmes go through accreditation, established new faculties and schools, expanded our academic offerings, transformed our systems digitally, expanded our infrastructure and strengthened the University's financial capacity. We saw our students excel in sports and academics, our researchers secure grants, new partnerships emerge and LASU gain greater visibility on the global academic map. We also celebrated when, for two consecutive years, LASU emerged as the most preferred university in the country.

These achievements did not happen because of one person. They happened because thousands of people believed that LASU could be better and were willing to contribute to making it so.

The journey was not without difficult moments. There were disruptions, disappointments, difficult decisions and difficult conversations. But those moments are also part of the story. And I believe we can say with confidence that LASU is in a better place today than it was five years ago.

For that, I am profoundly grateful.

First, I give all glory to the Almighty God, who gave me the strength, wisdom and grace to begin this journey and, most importantly, to see it through. To Him alone be all the glory.

I am deeply grateful to the Government and people of Lagos State, under the leadership of His Excellency, Mr Babajide Olusola SANWO-OLU, for the confidence reposed in me and the support given to this University throughout my tenure.

I am equally grateful to the Governing Council, Senate, Management, staff and student Unions, alumni, development partners, friends of the University and every stakeholder in the LASU project.

And to every member of the LASU family, I say thank you.

Every achievement recorded during these five years belongs, in one way or another, to you. You made it happen through your prayers, support, sacrifices, dedication and hard work. You taught me, challenged me, supported me and, at different moments, reminded me that leadership is ultimately about people. I will always remember your commitment, resilience and the countless ways you gave of yourselves to make this University better.

What a journey it's been. But no matter how remarkable, every journey has a beginning and, inevitably, an end.

I leave knowing that I did my part and gave my best to make LASU stronger, greater and better prepared for the future.

But the work is not finished. The work of building LASU is a continuing responsibility. The baton simply passes from one set of hands to another.

I leave with confidence in the future of this great University and with the abiding belief that the best days of LASU are still ahead.

As I take my leave, I ask that you continue to protect what we have built, continue to believe in this institution and continue to give your very best to it.

May you continue to make LASU proud. May LASU continue to rise.

Long live Lagos State University.
Long live Lagos State.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We are LASU, We are Great!

The rule for the 6 am hour that changed my career:

Do not check anybody else's demands on your time before 8.

No email. No WhatsApp. No news.

For those two hours, work on the thing you would work on if nobody else existed. That is your actual life. The rest is the world's version of you.

Two hours a day, six days a week, ten years. Nobody who does that stays where they started.

This is Igando this morning, NURTW members are not allowing yellow buses load, reason is because they’re not allowed to collect tariffs. Their action has left commuters stranded and an outrageous hike in transport fare.

Students, Working class and all others are affected by their actions.

[Wakeel Adisa @AdisaWakeel_]

@Daughter_of_hop Happy birthday to you, I understand you better.

You just gotta let it slide.

SCHOOL RESUMPTION ADVISORY:

Dear Motorists: This is the school resumption period, and our children will be making massive use of roadsides, including zebra crossings.

Please obey these rules to save lives.
1. Slow down and be prepared to stop.
When you see the "Pedestrian Crossing" warning sign or pedestrians waiting at the crossing, please reduce your speed immediately.

2. Give Way - Come to a Complete Stop.
Once a pedestrian steps onto the white stripes, they have priority. You must stop and wait until they have safely crossed to the other side.

Remember, A few seconds of patience can save a life.
LASTMAcares!
