Accreditation teams from the National Universities Commission (NUC) have commended Lagos State University (LASU) for its library and infrastructure.
The LASU accreditation exercise covered the university’s B.Sc. programmes in Building, Environmental Management and Quantity Surveying.
The commendation was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ayodeji Badejo, said accreditation is more than a routine check. She described it as an important process for quality assurance, self-assessment and continuous improvement.
According to her, the exercise gives universities a chance to review their academic processes and make sure their programmes meet national and international standards.
She also pointed to the university’s investment in technology-enabled teaching and learning. She said its facilities support both physical classes and virtual participation.
Badejo said the university library provides valuable resources for teaching, learning and research.
She added that the three programmes met the required NUC standards, and assured the visiting teams of management’s support and cooperation.
“The first accreditation team assessed the B.Sc. Building and B.Sc. Environmental Management programmes, while the second team assessed the B.Sc. Quantity Surveying.
“The first team was led by Prof Ishaya Samaila of Nasarawa State University, while the second team was led by Prof Ayodeji Oke of the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
“At the exit meeting, the team leaders presented their assessment reports and highlighted their observations and findings on the programmes. The teams commended LASU’s facilities, particularly its library and other infrastructure, noting their importance in supporting effective teaching, learning and academic development,” she said.
She thanked the teams for their professionalism, time and contributions.
She also assured them that the university will address the relevant observations and sustain the standards needed for academic excellence.
“The exercise reaffirmed LASU’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards, improving its learning environment and providing quality education that meets national and international standards,” she said.
