The Lagos State University Centre for Peace and Security Studies held its maiden orientation programme for postgraduate students on Saturday at the Aderemi Makanjuola Lecture Theatre, Ojo.

The director of the centre, Prof. Adewunmi Falode, welcomed the students and assured them of a rewarding experience. “Welcome, students, and rest assured that you’re in safe hands at LASU. We will equip you all with the best knowledge,” he said.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) of the university, Prof. Oseni Afisi, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Ibiyemi Bello, congratulated the students on their admission and noted that they were fortunate to have experts as their instructors. “There’ll be a combination of qualified teachers who will bring out the best in you. As students, ensure you’re available for classes and do the right thing,” he said.

Prof. Afisi added that the management of the institution would provide the students with everything they needed to progress in their field. “I congratulate you all. By the time you graduate, we will be proud to say we’ve produced the best of brains,” he said.

The Deputy Registrar and Special Adviser to the VC, Dr. Lateef Salami, stated that the orientation programme was designed to familiarise the students with the institution. “You must be careful on campus. As students of the institution, you must abstain from criminal activities such as examination malpractice, sexual abuse, extortion, and others,” he warned.

Dr. Salami also advised the students to familiarise themselves with the school security unit in case they faced any threats. “Additionally, you must all familiarise yourselves with the school security unit in case you face any threats,” he said.

A representative of the university’s librarian, Dr. Ogungbeni John, highlighted the importance of the library in the students’ academic journey. “As postgraduate students, you can’t do without a library. We have a library in the Faculty of Arts, and we also have a main library. The university has the biggest library in West Africa, and it will be opened in a few months,” he said.

The Dean of Postgraduate Studies, Prof. Ibrahim Olateju, encouraged the students to focus on their studies to ensure timely graduation. “If you focus on your studies, you will graduate on time,” he said.

A representative of the school’s Director of Information and Communication Technology, Riliwan Mustapha, pledged to support the students in their academic pursuits. “LASU is a hub of ICT. Everything is online, as we don’t have a direct interface with the students. Any issue can be resolved online without you having to stress yourself,” he said.
