Following the events of the recent power outage in the school premises for over a month, the Association of Campus Journalist, LASU Chapter (ACJ-LASU), gathered from reliable sources, the new format for electricity supply. This information will clear the air on every rumour, fake news, confusion and any form of information going around the school and media as far as The Lagos State University power supply is concerned. As a matter of fact, currently, the school is not just running on generator as most students and staffs of the school think, but also, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) supplies electricity for period of time daily. Now, here is a brief and detailed information on how the LASU power is shared:

EKEDC Power Sharing

1. The Babatunde Raji Fashola Senate Building runs on the EKEDC power supply from 8:00am to 2:30; 3:30pm to 4:30 pm(Working days only)
2. Faculties, Centre (For Student Affairs etc) and Units - 9:00am to 3:00pm (Working days only)
