Lagos State University (LASU)

Lagos State University (LASU) is a public university owned by the Lagos State Government and established in 1983 to expand access to higher education while supporting the educational, economic and social development of Nigeria's most populous state. Its main campus is located in Ojo, with additional academic facilities and campuses across Lagos. The university has developed from its original mandate into a comprehensive institution offering programmes across the humanities, sciences, engineering, medicine, education, law, management, social sciences and other professional disciplines.
LASU has become one of Nigeria's significant state-owned universities, combining undergraduate and postgraduate education with research, professional training, entrepreneurship and community engagement. Its location within Lagos also gives it a distinctive relationship with one of Africa's largest commercial and innovation centres, while its academic programmes serve students and professional communities across the state and beyond.
