Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State on Monday inaugurated Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun as the Vice- Chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU) charging him to rebuild confidence in the institution after its protracted crisis.

Ambode said at the inauguration in Lagos that Fagbohun would require the support and cooperation of all stakeholders, particularly staff and students, to ensure a peaceful atmosphere that would promote academic excellence.

“This appointment was made after a thorough screening and selection process by the Governing Council.

“Over the past few years, LASU has had a fair share of successes and challenges; as a result, there is a lot of work to be done to propel the university to a world class status.

In his address, Fagbohun promised to restore peace to the institution, foster high level scholarship and consolidate on previous gains.

“LASU truly is a citadel of academic excellence that must be let out of its present bondage.

“I therefore invite all stakeholders in the LASU project to join hands with me in the task of putting it back on the front row of academic excellence where it rightly belongs,” Fagbohun said.
