The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the take-off of two new specialised universities in Lagos State as approved by the state House of Assembly recently.
The universities are Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) with campuses in Ijanikin and Epe and Lagos State University of Science and Technology with campuses in Ikorodu, Isolo and Surulere.
They were established through the upgrade of two existing institutions, Lagos State Polytechnic and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Lagos respectively.
Executive Secretary, NUC, Prof. Rasheed Abubakar, presented the operational licences for the two universities to the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the NUC Headquarters in Abuja yesterday.
