My priority for tertiary education in Lagos – Ambode
January 11, 2016
The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday said the priority of his administration for educational institutions at the tertiary level is for them to nurture students to become wealth creators and innovators capable of contributing positively to the communities and the nation.
Ambode spoke at the Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja while inaugurating Prof. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun as the 8th substantive Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University.
He said the State Government was not just passionate about academic excellence, but equally committed to raising the standards and providing the necessary infrastructure for tertiary institutions in the state to deliver outstanding results.
While insisting that he was not oblivious of the unique position that LASU occupies, Governor Ambode charged the new leadership of the institution to re-focus on intellectual engagement, show leadership and brace up to the developmental and academic challenges of an emerging globally competitive citadel of learning.
In providing the roadmap for LASU, Ambode recalled that the journey towards the actualization of his vision for the institution began on September 22, 2015 when the Governing Council was inaugurated and that to take it to realization, he equally assented to a Bill amending the enabling law setting up the institution.
The amendment, according to the Governor, was fundamental as it will address pertinent issues that have for long created discord within the academic community.
