LASU'S 25th Convocation Ceremony: All You Need To Know

-
By Bolaji Badmus, Adebola Aliamin
The National leader of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu shall be the keynote speaker at the LASU 25th  convocation lecture, as confirmed by the school. 

Sequel to the meeting held with Tinubu and the Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University, Professor  Ibiyemi Olatunji Bello, MNI. The 25th convocation is set to hold in March this year.

LASU's last convocation ceremony was held two years ago on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. The visitor to the ceremony was the Governor Babajide Sanwoolu. The convocation was termed a remarkable one by the then Vice-Chancellor, Olanrewaju Fagbohun, because the best graduating students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels set a new university record.

Oladimeji Shotunde of the Department of Business Administration set the record, as he graduated as the best graduating student with a CGPA of 4.95 while Olusola Aanu Olabanjo with a CGPA of 5.0 graduated as the best M.Sc. graduate. 

This 25th convocation ceremony is for the 2019/2020 set of students who had already signed out of the university since 2021 summer. There however have been questions raised by the current graduating set if another convocation ceremony will be organised this year as they will also sign out by the end of this semester, around April.

 By Ifeoluwa Folasayo Deborah  Unlike secondary school, many freshers are often unprepared for their first university examinations. Most students enter the university system without fully understanding that it is significantly different from what they were used to, and that it requires a higher level of independence, discipline, and focus. For some, the excitement of newfound freedom and the idea of being a “university big boy or girl” can become a distraction from academic responsibilities. In the university, students are no longer spoon fed or closely monitored as they were in secondary school. Learning becomes largely dependent on self motivation, commitment, and self discipline. Without these qualities, even maintaining an average academic performance can become difficult. The first semester examination is particularly important because it contributes to a student’s cumulative grade point average, commonly known as CGPA. Sadly, many students later regret not taking their ...
