Oke congratulated the staff and members of the university community on the feat.
“The new status of the university is heart-warming and a further attestation to her quality teaching, research exploits and robust service delivery.

“The Acting Vice-Chancellor applauds the invaluable and immeasurable contributions of all stakeholders including; the Lagos State Government, members of staff and our world-class students towards the newest ranking of the institution.

“Without the unwavering support and commitment of all stakeholders to the LASU project, the feat would have been unattainable,’’ the statement read.

Oke urged staff and students to be steadfast, continue to keep faith, work and walk with the university management.

“It is our desire to claim the university’s pride of place among the comity of universities, not only in Nigeria but the world at large,’’ he was quoted as saying. (NAN)
