The Vice -Chancellor, Lagos State
University, Ojo, Prof. Lanre Fagboun, has said that the university will
soon add Pharmacy and nine other courses to its list of programmes.
He said this on Monday during a briefing to commemorate his one year anniversary in office.
According to him, the additional
programmes include Administration and Leadership Programme, Tourism and
Hotel Management, among
others. He added that the new programmes would
help in solving the challenge of unemployment.
He said, “It is our plan to ensure that
the university keys into the vision of the Lagos State Government, which
is committed to driving development through innovation. This is why we
have resolved to match the government’s desire with our plan to develop
adequate manpower for the future, through the creation of additional
programmes that will provide jobs for the future of Lagos and Africa by
extension.”
Fagbohun also added that a new hostel
for the university, which is being planned, will accommodate between
5,000 and 6,000 students in its first phase.
“We are introducing modern facilities to
the hostel including the use of renewable energy in support of our
conventional electricity supply system. Our road networks are very
appealing now. They have been constructed and the Senate Building will
soon be completed. The LASU Radio building has been completed and
inaugurated.”
