In line with the university’s commitment to technological advancements, LASU has launched TALKSPACE, its own online meeting application, available for flexible subscription on the university’s website. This new platform enhances communication within and beyond the LASU community.

Further demonstrating its commitment to innovation, LASU unveiled the establishment of a new Faculty of Computing, which will house five departments: Department of Computer Science, Department of Cyber Security, Department of Data Science, Department of ICT, and Department of Software Engineering. This development will provide students with cutting-edge skills, preparing them for the rapidly evolving digital landscape. These departments will offer academic programs leading to the award of various degrees.

In a bid to bolster its technological infrastructure, LASU has also made significant strides in expanding its ICT resources. The university recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art 1-petabyte Tier 3 Data Centre, designed to warehouse and provide data archiving and repository services for curated data items in Lagos State and beyond. This infrastructure will also support the telecommunications industry, further solidifying LASU’s position as a leader in ICT development.

Just days before the convocation, LASU further expanded its ICT infrastructure with the inauguration of a 350-seat Computer-Based Test Centre, designed to enhance academic and administrative efficiency. This new facility will provide students and faculty with advanced resources for digital exams and assessments.

With these developments, LASU’s 28th convocation is shaping up to be a celebration of excellence, progress, and the university’s ongoing commitment to producing graduates capable of making meaningful contributions to society. The event promises to highlight the institution’s focus on innovation, ensuring that its students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
