JUST IN: Sanwo-Olu appoints new VC for LASUSTECH

Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ratified the appointment of Prof. Olumuyiwa Odusanya as the substantive and pioneer Vice–Chancellor of the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, Ikorodu.

Mr Tokunbo Wahab, Special Adviser on Education to the Governor made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos.

He said it was imperative to appoint a substantive VC for LASUSTECH to ensure that there was no void in the university’s leadership while maintaining stability.

“Odusanya was born on February 8, 1965, a Professor of Public and Community Health and a Fellow of the Medical College in Public Health and Community Medicine.

He praised the LASUSTECH’s former acting Vice-Chancellor, Dr Nurudeen Olaleye,for using his experience and good managerial skill to set the new university on a good track.

“Posterity will judge him aright as one of the foundation management heads of the university in the future.

“His efforts will pave the way for the new administration to start on a good pedestal.

“Olaleye had been directed by the State Government to resume his duty post as the LASPOTECH’s substantive Rector for the next three years and two months remaining for him to complete his tenure,” Wahab said.

At the take-off of the new university, Sanwo-Olu approved the appointment of the then substantive Rector of the former Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, Olaleye, as the acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, pending the appointment of the substantive Vice-Chancellor.
