The Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) has announced February 13, 2027, as the date for its maiden convocation. The announcement was made by the Director of Student Affairs (DSA), Dr. Ademola Aderogba, during the first engagement meeting of the 2025/2026 academic session.
The meeting featured the introduction of Heads of Class (HOCs) and representatives from various departments. Dr. Aderogba addressed issues relating to the academic session and outlined expectations for students.
He presented an overview of academic results across colleges and departments, noting variations in performance. Students were advised to ensure lecturers are invited for scheduled lectures.
According to the DSA, all issues relating to academic results must be resolved before January 27, 2026, when the University Senate will review them. He stated that no further consideration would be given to result-related issues after that date.
Students were advised to report challenges through their Heads of Class. Heads of Class were also directed to monitor movements and developments within their respective classrooms.
Dr. Aderogba stated that students in 200 to 400 levels who have not paid their school fees may be required to spend an additional semester. He added that some cases involved misuse of school fees and informed students awaiting NELFUND support that payments may not be received until mid-2026.
He explained the difference between the University Handbook and departmental handbooks, noting that while most information in the University Handbook is contained in departmental versions, students are expected to be familiar with its provisions. He reiterated that fighting on campus attracts automatic dismissal.
The DSA further stated that departmental or college executive bodies will not be re-registered without adequate knowledge of Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of the University Handbook. He added that all student-related programmes require official approval, while the creation of an association without due registration attracts a one-semester rustication.
On student governance, Dr. Aderogba said Student Union elections remain suspended following reported misconduct involving students from other departments. He noted that university management is monitoring student conduct to determine the future of union activities.
He also advised students to take responsibility for their safety in hostels, noting that late-night movements are at students’ own risk. Students were cautioned to be mindful of items they consume.
The meeting concluded with the introduction of Transweeft, a mobile application designed to facilitate on-campus payments.
Dr. Aderogba reaffirmed that LASUSTECH’s maiden convocation is scheduled for February 13, 2027.
