Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo says Mr. Daibo Davies, who plunged into Lagos lagoon, was not its graduate as reported by some media.

The institution’s  Coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ademola Adekoya, in a statement in Lagos on Thursday, said LASU does not run a programme in Quantity Surveying, the programme the late Davies reportedly studied.

He said: “The attention of the management has been drawn to media reports stating that the young man, who plunged into the lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos recently, was a fresh graduate of Quantity Surveying from the Lagos State University.

“While the university sympathises with the family and relations of Davies on the unfortunate incident, we find it pertinent to correct the media reports crediting his studentship to LASU.

“We enjoin the media to exercise more diligence in gathering their facts before publishing reports, to avoid misleading the public.”
