Lectures would resume on Monday, April 11th, 2022, at 8:00 a.m.

This is to remind students of Akwa-Ibom State University that the administration has announced the approved second semester examination timetable for the academic year 2020/2021.

Starting at 8 p.m. on March 16, 2022, graduating students for the 25th Convocation Ceremony will have the chance to share their memories with the rest of the institution when they congregate on Twitter, a microblogging and social networking app, to share their experiences.

Part of the Convocation social media campaign will include a conversation sponsored and moderated by the official Twitter handle of the university, @LASUOfficial, as well as other university officials.

By 8 p.m. on Wednesday, any members of the University Community who are also active on Twitter are welcome to participate in the dialogue.

Lagos State University would undoubtedly become the first university in Nigeria to host a Twitter Space as a result.

For the duration of this week, the Akwa Ibom State University (ASU) vice chancellor approved the reopening of the Undergraduate payment and registration site.

Please be aware that the portal will be shut down on Friday, March 25th, 2022.

A follow-up to the letter sent by university administration of Tai Solarin University of Education on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, which stated that the deadline for school fee payment for students in the 100 level will be on the 18th of March, 2022.

We recognized this as a hurdle for many of our students who are financially disadvantaged as a result of the state of our beloved nation, which hasn’t compelled them to take the required steps.

With a persuasive approach to the appropriate quarters, we have been successful in obtaining an extension of this deadline, which will allow our students to complete their payments and avoid forfeiture of their Studentship.

Today, March 15, 2022. I’m writing to inform you that your humble request has been granted, and the deadline has been extended to Friday, March 25, 2022, as previously agreed upon.

We strongly encourage all affected students to take advantage of this abundant chance to submit their payments while also taking advantage of the strike time.

The university’s administration wishes to notify all candidates who have previously applied on the portal for the pickup of their certificates and transcripts, prior to the revision of the payment schedule, that they must re-apply on the portal.

Apart from ensuring that all applications receive enough consideration, the necessity for this will also serve to demonstrate the new payment regime recently authorized by the university Management.

In a letter to academics at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, the Student Union has given them 72 hours to decide whether or not to withdraw from the current strike being carried out by the Academic Staff Union.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) went on a four-week warning strike on February 14 in protest at the Federal Government’s refusal to fulfill the 2009 agreements it signed with the union and the rot in universities. On March 14, the union announced that it will prolong the strike for a further eight weeks.

Anuoluwa Adeboye, the President of the Student Union of LAUTECH, and Gabriel Michael, the Public Relations Officer, issued a statement on Friday in which they stated students at the university had suffered unfairly due to prior frequent strike activities.

They went on to say that the protracted strike had also prevented the school’s recent graduates from being mobilized for the National Youth Service Corps orientation program, which was scheduled to begin in March.

The students said that they had requested a conversation with the ASUU, LAUTECH chapter about why the union had decided to participate in the national strike, but that the organization had refused to engage with them on the subject.

“In light of this, if by now the leadership of ASUU LAUTECH is unable to honour the open dialogue address from the Student Union between ASUU LAUTECH and LAUTECH students, and they are claiming to be fighting for the Ladokites’ interests at the federal level, we are saying enough is enough.” The statement continued, ”

The leadership of ASUU LAUTECH has been given 72 hours to take a leaf out of the book of ASUU KWASU, which wrote a special letter to the national ASUU based on the peculiarity of their institution, and to opt out of the current strike; otherwise, the Student Union will be left with no choice but to see ASUU LAUTECH as a sabotage to the progress of LAUTECH and Ladokites due to their selfish interest.”
