The Lagos State University (LASU), located at Ojo, was established as a Public University in 1983 by the enabling law of Lagos State. Established with the vision of pursuing the advancement of learning and academic excellence, the university has been unrelenting in the pursuit of its mission of becoming a citadel of learning, a community with the trademark of excellence in teaching, research and service to humanity, a catalyst as well as an agent for development.
Lagos has always enjoyed a premier and pre-eminent position in the history of education in Nigeria; notwithstanding that, the state has oftentimes been referred to as backward because of its low number of indigenous population in schools. However, as part of the effort to reverse the low school attendance trend in the state, a major step was taken to establish LASU during the Administration of Alhaji Lateef Jakande as the first Executive Governor of Lagos State.
