The management of Lagos State University (LASU) said it has approved fund for the installation of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and other electronic gadgets to enhance security on campus.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, disclosed this yesterday during the Orientation Programme for students of LASU’s School of Basic and Advance Studies (LASUSBAS) Campus, Badagry.
“In addition to this, we have also constructed a new security post and procured a new motorcycle to improve the safety of lives and property on the premises.
“In line with safety and security procedures, we have an active collaboration with external security agencies to complement the efforts of the university security to improve safety of lives and property of students and workers.
“Our administration has also procured an ambulance and two new 100kva and 40kva generators for the Badagry campus and the hostel.
“These are apart from the measures that have been put in place to ensure that our students commute with ease to and from the university hostel on a daily basis,” she said.
Olatunji-Bello promised the students that they will increase admission opportunities for candidates who graduate from the programme.
According to her, “as long as students here meet the cut-off mark, we shall ensure no one is denied admission into the 200 Level of the courses you desire to study in our university.”
She urged them to be focused to “benefit from the huge opportunities you have as students of this programme and of the university.”
“I urge you, therefore, to embrace hard work, shun vices such as cultism, cybercrimes, popularly known as yahoo yahoo, sexual and gender-based violence, drug and alcohol related offences and examination malpractices.
“Let me warn you that if you are found culpable of any of these misconducts, you shall not be spared, but shall be made to face the penalty in accordance with the rules and regulations of LASU.
“I urge you to justify the huge investments of your parents in your education by being disciplined on and off campus,” she said.
