Lagos varsity to honour Sanwo-Olu, Obasa at maiden convocation

The Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) recently held its inaugural convocation ceremony, honoring six distinguished individuals for their exceptional contributions to scholarship, leadership, and public service. These awardees include Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Speaker Mudasiru Obasa, and former Attorney-General Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN).

The ceremony's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bidemi Lafiaji-Okuneye, emphasized the recipients' impact on the university's transformation from a college of education to a university. Sanwo-Olu, in particular, played a crucial role in establishing the institution, signing the bill that led to its creation in 2022. A total of 2,486 students will graduate in the 2025/2026 academic year, with Blessed Olawunmi from the College of Vocational and Entrepreneurship Education crowned the overall best graduate.

She will receive a cash prize of N250,000 and a plaque for her outstanding achievements. Other top graduates will also be honored with plaques and cash awards.
