The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, mni, has expressed her excitement at the ranking, calling it a breakthrough in the attainment of her vision to make LASU the very best in West Africa. She congratulated the entire university community on the feat and thanked the Lagos State Government, under the leadership of Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu for empowering her administration to succeed.

The Vice Chancellor further assured that the university would not relent in putting the right policies, strategies and infrastructures in place for LASU to become the best in the sub-region in all other ranking indices.
