"This event is a testament to the brand we are building here at LASUSTECH. Our students have shown not only academic excellence but also outstanding co-curricular abilities, which are crucial in today's world," he remarked.



Dr. Ademola further encouraged students to channel their energy into productive activities, emphasizing that these experiences can benefit both the individuals and the institution as a whole. "Students should focus on co-curricular activities that will positively impact their future, rather than engaging in unproductive social activities," he added.

Omolola Emmanuel Oluwadamilare, the SCA Sports Director, expressed his satisfaction with the event's success, while also calling attention to the need for better sports facilities and improved officiating. 

"I am amazed by the level of participation and talent displayed across all sports. However, there is room for improvement in our sports facilities and officiating standards," he said.

Coach Idrees Abdul Lateef of the Engineering team echoed these sentiments, advising his players to maintain their hard work and calling for enhanced support from the university's sports administration. 

"We need better officials and facilities to ensure a safer and more competitive environment for our athletes," he noted.


The VC's Cup was not just a showcase of athletic prowess but also a celebration of the spirit of unity and excellence that defines LASUSTECH
