The National Universities Commission NUC has approved the
conversion of Lagos State Polytechnic, LASPOTECH to Lagos State University of
Science and Technology.
Also approved for conversion is the Adeniran Ogunsunya
College of Education as well as Micheal Otedola College of Education to Lagos
State University of Education.
The conversion followed an official request by the Lagos
State government to the NUC, to boost the admission quota of students from the
state who are desirous of university education.
The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who was at the NUC
headquarters on Tuesday, to pick up the provisional licenses, pledged to make
resources available for the smooth running of both institutions.
He described education as pivotal to the growth and
development of any society, hence the investment in tertiary institutions in
the state.
The NUC Executive Secretary, Professor Abubakar Rasheed
while presenting the letter of recognition to both institutions, urged them to
concentrate on science and technology-driven education as a means of bridging
the gap in that sector.
