The Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Professor Ibiyemi Ibilola Olatunji-Bello, has extended her warm congratulations to all students as the Second Semester Examinations for the 2025/2026 Academic Session commence.
Encouragement for Students
Professor Olatunji-Bello urged students to approach the examinations with confidence, optimism, and a positive mindset. She emphasized the importance of diligent preparation, focus, wise time management, and giving their best in every paper.
According to the Vice Chancellor, these examinations represent a significant step towards achieving the students' academic goals. She described the period as an opportunity to demonstrate growth, commitment, and readiness for the next phase of their academic journey.
“The knowledge, training, and support you have received throughout the semester have adequately prepared you for success,” she stated.
Zero Tolerance for Malpractice
The Vice Chancellor reiterated LASU’s zero-tolerance policy on examination malpractice. She warned that any form of misconduct would be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Students' Handbook.
“Let your success be built on honesty, hard work, and integrity,” she advised.
Professor Olatunji-Bello wished all students a peaceful, rewarding, and successful examination season, adding, “I want you to know that I am rooting for you. I sincerely pray that God grants you clarity of mind, good health, confidence, and outstanding success in all your examinations.”
Student Reactions
Following the Vice Chancellor’s message, several LASU students took to social media to express their concerns. Some students highlighted challenges with tuition fee payments and registration portals.
@Ebosataa pleaded, “Please, ma, a lot of students have been unable to pay, and they have been asked to defer. Please, if there is something that can be done, even if it’s a 24-hour window and late reg fees.”
@wever_lanre noted, “Course reg portal was opened yesterday night till today night, so a lot of us expected the school fees portal would be opened with it. We are trying to pay school fees since morning, it’s saying the school fees portal is closed, please kindly look into this, ma.”
@kol_awole added, “A lot of us never pay our tuition fee, the time frame is too short for me in Stream 2 coupled with theatre expenses.”
