LASUSTECH Watch

A fresh controversy has erupted in the National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) LASUSTECH chapter over reports that suspended President Comrade Bakare Baqiat Olapeju has been reinstated. However, SPC Speaker Rt. Hon. Edidi Azeezat Omowonuola denied the claim, stating that no official decision has been made. Sources within the union alleged that Bakare’s suspension had been lifted but claimed that the SPC was reluctant to publicly announce the decision for fear of appearing weak and unserious to the student body. However, in an interview with LASUSTECH WATCH, Speaker Edidi insisted that Bakare remains suspended until an official sitting is held to determine her status. "The suspended president has not been reinstated because it has not been officially pasted. If she was reinstated, we would have posted it publicly. However, soon, a sitting will be held, and when she is reinstated, you will know," the Speaker stated. The controversy surrounding Comrade Bakare Baqiat Olap...

By Our Reporter  The President of the National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) at Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Comrade Bakare Baqiat Olapeju, has been suspended for two months following accusations of misconduct, insubordination, and failure to perform her constitutional duties. The decision was reached at the first budget sitting of the Students Parliamentary Council (SPC), held on March 5, 2025, after a heated debate regarding her actions and that of other executive members. During the budget discussion, tensions escalated when the Deputy Speaker observed that the President failed to properly acknowledge the presence of the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Honourable Members, and other functionaries. Instead, she reportedly displayed a rude attitude, used foul language, and accused the SPC of disrespecting her office. As a result, the Deputy Speaker ordered her to leave the sitting but remain within the premises until recalled. However, while leavi...

An Editorial by the Editor-In-Chief, UCJ LASUSTECH  As the crescent moon ushers in the holy month of  Ramadan , we at Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) extend our heartfelt wishes to all students, academic staff, and non-teaching staff observing this sacred period. Ramadan is not merely a time of abstinence from food and drink; it is a month of deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and renewed commitment to righteousness. The  Holy Qur’an (2:183)  reminds us of the essence of fasting: "O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous." This verse highlights the  purpose of fasting —to develop  Taqwa (consciousness of Allah) . It is a period to purify the soul, strengthen faith, and embody the principles of patience, generosity, and empathy. For us as a university community, this is an opportunity to cultivate habits that extend beyond the m...
