By Ogunlaja Oluwafemi  The 34th Lasusu elections took place on November 1, 2023, across various faculties at Lagos State University. However, there were notable delays in the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, where the polling unit for communication experienced a late start due to a network glitch.
