The National Universities Commission accreditation teams commended Lagos State University for its library and infrastructure. This was noted in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The commendation followed the assessment of the university’s B.Sc. programmes in Building, Environmental Management and Quantity Surveying.

The LASU vice-chancellor, Ayodeji Badejo, described accreditation as more than a routine evaluation, saying it was an important process for quality assurance, institutional self-assessment and continuous improvement.

Ms Badejo said the exercise provided universities with an opportunity to review their academic processes and ensure their programmes met national and international standards.

Ms Badejo also highlighted the university’s investment in technology-enabled teaching and learning, stating its facilities supported both physical classroom teaching and virtual participation.

She said the university library provided valuable academic resources that supported teaching, learning and research.

The vice-chancellor pointed out that the three programmes met the required NUC standards and assured the visiting teams of the university 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.

Ms Badejo appreciated the teams for their professionalism, time and contributions to the exercise.

She assured them that the university would address relevant observations and sustain the standards required 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.
