Success Damian:

Authority of Lagos State University (LASU) has dissociated the institution from unfounded releases, falsehood and unverified reports/stories being circulated on social media platforms and on the pages of some traditional media by individuals/group of individuals who are neither members of the University Community nor members of staff and students' unions.

In a press statement signed by Ademola Adekoya, Coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, LASU, the records have shown clearly that none of the signatories to the unfounded stories is a member of staff of the University.

Quoting the statement “The University is proud of her world class students, legitimate members of staff (Teaching and Non - Teaching) and most importantly, the recognized students’ and staff unions and, their respective leaders who have been unrelenting, working tirelessly and highly supportive to the growth and development of our dear University.

“The invaluable and immensurable positive contributions of the members of staff, students' and staff unions had taken the University to the enviable position it presently occupies in the comity of universities in Nigeria as the second best.”

According to the statement, the management considers it imperative to dissociate self from all the falsehood in the media space “Therefore, as a responsible and responsive Management that is more committed to pushing the frontiers of excellence on all fronts, we hereby dissociate the name of the University from impostors, claiming to be staff and students posting all forms of falsehood, write ups/reports/stories that had not been verified by the institution's Authority 

“Finally, all well-meaning stakeholders are enjoined to always contact the University Authority to verify relevant information before they believe or even proliferate such information.
