LASU bans part-time students from unionism

The Lagos State University (LASU) has prohibited the School of Part-Time Studies (SPTS) students from engaging or belonging to any form of unionism in the institution.

The SPTS Director, Prof. Oluwatobi Pemede, announced this while speaking at the 2025/2026 matriculation ceremony of the students held at the LASU main campus in the Ojo area of Lagos State on Friday, February 20, 2026.

Pemede, who was represented at the event by the SPTS Assistant Director, Dr Oluwaseun Babalola, said the institution would not condone any act of misconduct from them.

Pemede said: “Dear matriculants, I must offer a word of caution, please note that LASU will not condone any act of misconduct.

“Should you find yourself caught in a web of misconduct, you must be ready to face the consequences alone, for this great institution is our pride, both within Nigeria and beyond her shores.

“Permit me to remind you to review your admission letter carefully. You are equally warned that student unionism is prohibited for this category of programme.

“Let this serve as a clear reminder of the standards expected of you.”

He assured the matriculating students that LASU would continue to offer more than academic excellence for personal growth and networking.

He also advised the students to build meaningful relationships with lecturers, colleagues, and the university community.

“Both academic and non-academic staff members are committed to guide you appropriately, however, you are the architect of your success and this greatly depends on your dedication, curiosity and academic prowess,” the SPTS director added.

The LASU Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olayinka-Bello, who declared the matriculation ceremony opened, congratulated the students, saying they were fortunate to be offered admission into the reputable institution.

Olayinka-Bello was represented by Prof.  Adigun Lawal, a Professor of Industrial Organisational Psychology in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences.
