Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has gifted the best graduating student of the Best State University, Lagos State University (LASU), Olaniyi Olawale, a sum of N10 million at the 27th Convocation Ceremony.
Sanwo-Olu made the announcement at the 27th Convocation of Lagos State University, held at the Buba Marwa Auditorium, at the Univesity Main Campus Ojo on Thursday, June 6, 2024.
Olawale graduated from the Accounting Education Department with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.98.

Speaking at the event, the Lagos State governor said: “Congratulations Olaniyi Olawale; well done. Your hard work has brought you this far, the reward for hard work is more work. I believe there are so many Olawales in here, I want you to be inspired, LASU is a school of excellence.
“LASU has continued to lead in academic excellence. Products of this great institution have continued to excel in all their chosen fields.
“Just last week, I swore in some new judges for Lagos State, 10 out of the 13 new judges were alumni of LASU, that has gone to show that we’re indeed great.”
Sanwo-Olu also advocated for more inclusivity for women in subsequent editions, saying: “I’d like to see more inclusivity for our women, as all our recipients are men. We need to have at least a woman in the mix.”
He further applauded the institution’s Governing Council for ensuring all-round education, saying: “I applaud the Governing Council for instilling discipline and diligence. This is evident wherever your products are.
“LASU remains the best state university in Nigeria and also the most digitally-advanced university in Nigeria.
“We’re doing well; we shouldn’t rest on our oars. We will keep setting the pace as the state of excellence.”
