View AllLASU 3rd CGNS Education Summit: Experts Call for Shift From Palliative ‘Dotes’ to Real ‘Antidotes’ Against Poverty
“EDUCATION REMAINS THE STRONGEST ANTIDOTE, THE GREAT EQUALISER THAT EQUIPS CITIZENS WITH THE SKILLS AND MINDSET TO THRIVE IN HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT”
… Director-General, Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Topo Badagry, Lagos State.
The Director-General of the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Topo Badagry, Lagos State, and Special Guest of Honour at the 3rd CGNS Education Summit, Dr Funke Adepoju-Olayomi, affirmed in her address that education remains the strongest antidote, the great equaliser equipping citizens with the skills and mindset required to thrive in human capital development. She noted that education strengthens governance structures, creates supportive ecosystems, and shifts the nation’s trajectory towards shared prosperity, emphasising that poverty remains a lived reality.
She made this assertion at the 3rd Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS) Education Summit, held at the Aderemi Makanjuola Lecture Theatre, LASU main campus, Ojo, Lagos, on Tuesday, 2nd December 2025.
Reflecting on her experiences, Dr Adepoju-Olayomi expressed confidence that the robust conversations and outcomes from the summit would provide actionable blueprints for policymakers and institutions, translating into measurable impacts. She reiterated that much progress is underway and that education remains a game-changer within that space.
Delivering the keynote address, the President of HERPNET, University of Ibadan, Professor Benedict Emunemu, FNAEAP, NAE, spoke on the summit’s theme: “From Dotes to Antidotes: Unpacking the Dimensions of Poverty in Nigeria and the Blueprint Beyond”. He exposed the multifaceted scourge of deprivation affecting 133 million Nigerians, according to the 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). He highlighted that poverty extends beyond income, encompassing deficits in education, health, housing, and security issues rooted in colonial legacies, corruption, overdependence on oil, and weak governance structures. He contrasted “dotes”, or mere palliative measures such as PAP, NAPEP, and N-Power, with “antidotes”, which involve systemic solutions through economic diversification, institutional reforms, and human capital investment.
Professor Emunemu further emphasised that the unpacked dimensions of poverty reveal economic strains from unemployment and inflation; social barriers including educational and gender inequalities most severe in northern states; political challenges arising from policy inconsistency; infrastructural deficits in power and transport; and environmental threats such as desertification and flooding. He outlined targeted strategies for sustainable poverty reduction, advocating evidence-based policies supported by strengthened monitoring and evaluation systems.
He urged Nigeria to move from temporary fixes to structural, long-term strategies anchored in integrated, inclusive, and evidence-driven reforms. He stressed that sustainable development depends on robust governance, empowerment initiatives, and community participation.
The Director of the Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS), Professor M.O.B. Mohammed, FNAEAP, in his welcome address, expressed profound gratitude to the University Management, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, mni, NPOM, for granting the Centre the opportunity to hold its 3rd Education Summit under her administration. He appreciated all invited guests, speakers, and participants for their presence. According to him, their attendance, representing a broad spectrum of policymakers, educators, and thought leaders, underscores the significance of the issues being addressed. He noted that the summit combines both academic and social engagement.
Professor Mohammed urged participants to fully engage with the sessions, contribute their unique insights, and help transform ideas into policy recommendations capable of driving real change.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Professor Rahman Saka, stated in his remarks that the gathering was dedicated to intellectual reflection, national renewal, and the search for sustainable solutions to one of Nigeria’s most persistent challenges: POVERTY. He called on participants, researchers, and academics to move beyond identifying poverty merely as a statistic or inherited burden, and instead interrogate its historical roots, structural drivers, and contemporary manifestations; whether economic, educational, political, cultural, or technological. He challenged them to collectively design an antidote anchored in evidence, innovation, and inclusive development. He urged participants to ensure that the summit not only diagnoses Nigeria’s challenges but also produces concrete, actionable strategies capable of moving the nation from dote to antidote, from limitations to possibilities, and from rhetoric to reform.
Goodwill messages were delivered by the Dean of the Postgraduate School, Professor Ibrahim Olateju, and the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Adigun Lawal.
The summit concluded with a vote of thanks by the Deputy Registrar/Secretary, Centre for General Nigerian Studies, Mr Ademola Adekoya.

Guidelines for Newly Admitted Students

The choice of the Main Auditorium at the Odosida Campus underscores the significance of the event and provides a central, accessible location for students, faculty, parents, and invited guests.
A Milestone for Fresh Students
Matriculation remains one of the defining traditions of UNIMED, as it officially confirms a student’s admission status and their recognition as full members of the university community. For freshers, this ceremony is not just a formality—it is the start of a transformative academic experience that will shape their careers in medical, health, and allied sciences.
The Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Deans of Faculties, Heads of Departments, and other principal officers of the university are expected to grace the event, making it a moment of pride for both students and their families.
Importance of Punctuality
In the official notice released by UNIMED management, punctuality was strongly emphasized. All participants—including students, parents, guardians, and invited guests—are expected to be seated before 9:00 a.m.
To enforce orderliness and seamless coordination throughout the event, UNIMED has introduced multiple seating checkpoints:
-
9:05 a.m.
-
11:05 a.m.
-
1:05 p.m.
-
3:05 p.m.
These checkpoints are strategically scheduled to manage the different sessions of the ceremony and ensure that latecomers are properly guided without disrupting the ongoing activities. This approach is consistent with UNIMED’s well-known disciplinary culture and its commitment to excellence in academic and ceremonial conduct.
Why Matriculation Matters in UNIMED
Matriculation is more than wearing gowns and reciting the matriculation oath. At UNIMED, the ceremony carries deep significance, including:
1. Formal Admission into the University
Students officially become recognized members of the institution after taking the matriculation oath administered by the Registrar.
2. Acceptance of University Rules and Responsibilities
By matriculating, students pledge to uphold the values, ethics, and conduct expected of future medical and health professionals.
3. Beginning of Academic Rights and Privileges
Matriculated students gain full access to academic resources, including libraries, laboratories, clinical facilities, and lecture platforms.
4. Cultural Orientation
The ceremony serves as a cultural introduction to the institution’s traditions, expectations, and academic community.
5. Symbol of Academic Commitment
Taking the oath symbolizes the student’s commitment to academic diligence, discipline, and professional growth.
What Fresh Students Should Prepare For
To ensure a smooth experience, newly admitted students are encouraged to:
1. Arrive Early
Given the strict punctuality requirement, arriving at least one hour before the ceremony starts is advisable. This helps avoid crowding at checkpoints and ensures easy access into the auditorium.
2. Come Properly Dressed
Matriculation gowns are usually provided by the institution or faculty. Students should appear neat, well-coordinated, and dressed according to the academic guidelines provided.
3. Bring the Required Documentation
While documentation is not always required on the matriculation day, students are advised to keep their admission letters or identity slips handy in case of verification.
4. Listen to Instructions
School officials and marshals will be on ground to direct movement, seating arrangements, and the general flow of the ceremony.
5. Invite Only Authorized Guests
Due to limited seating capacity, students should comply with any guest restrictions communicated by the university.
What to Expect During the Ceremony
A typical UNIMED matriculation ceremony includes:
1. Opening Procession
The academic procession featuring the Vice-Chancellor, Senate members, and senior officials signals the start of the event.
2. Welcome Address
The Vice-Chancellor delivers a formal welcome speech, offering guidance and setting expectations for the new academic year.
3. Administration of the Matriculation Oath
The Registrar leads students through the official oath, marking their acceptance into the university.
4. Faculty Recognition
Students may be recognized or grouped by faculties such as Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Allied Health, Basic Medical Sciences, and others.
5. Inspirational Charge
Often, a keynote speech or charge is given to motivate students to uphold integrity, pursue excellence, and remain committed to their studies.
6. Closing Formalities
The ceremony concludes with a closing declaration, academic recessional, and photo sessions.
UNIMED’s Message to Students
In its statement, UNIMED congratulated all newly admitted students, acknowledging their hard work during the competitive admission process. The management encouraged them to attend the matriculation, describing it as a foundational event that officially marks the beginning of their academic journey.
The institution reminded students that matriculation is an important requirement for maintaining their admission. Those who fail to matriculate may risk forfeiture of their admission status according to established university regulations.
A New Beginning for a New Generation of Health Professionals
For students stepping into UNIMED, the 11th Matriculation Ceremony is more than a celebration—it is a doorway into a world of science, service, and humanity. UNIMED has built a reputation for producing skilled, compassionate medical and health professionals who contribute significantly to Nigeria’s healthcare system.
With modern facilities, experienced faculty members, and a strong emphasis on research and clinical training, the university continues to offer a world-class platform for aspiring doctors, nurses, scientists, and allied health specialists.

View AllUNIVERSITY OF LAGOS (UNILAG) EXTENDS SCREENING EXERCISE FOR NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION
The University of Lagos (UNILAG), one of Nigeria’s most prestigious federal institutions, has officially announced a two-week extension for the ongoing 2025/2026 Screening and Registration Exercise for newly admitted undergraduate students. The extension, which shifts the deadline to Friday, December 12, 2025, is aimed at accommodating fresh UTME and Direct Entry candidates who have not yet completed the screening process due to personal, technical, or logistical challenges.
This announcement represents a significant relief for many admitted students who may have faced difficulties getting their documents ready, traveling to Lagos, or navigating the registration portal. The management emphasized that the extension aligns with the university’s commitment to ensuring that all eligible candidates are given enough time to complete the mandatory screening before the commencement of full academic activities.
Why the Extension Was Necessary
Every academic year, UNILAG admits thousands of students across various faculties, and the screening/registration exercise remains one of the most important stages in the onboarding of new students. According to internal sources within the university, the extension became necessary after it was observed that a sizable number of admitted candidates had not yet appeared for screening as at the initial deadline.
Factors contributing to the delay reportedly include:
-
Delay in obtaining or printing original examination results
-
Technical difficulties on the side of some candidates accessing online platforms
-
Travel challenges due to distance or financial constraints
-
High turnout at faculty-based screening venues causing delays
-
Candidates still awaiting verification from other necessary bodies
By offering more time, UNILAG aims to avoid a situation in which genuine, qualified candidates lose their admission simply because they could not complete the registration on time.
Faculty-Based Screening: What It Means for Candidates
UNILAG reiterated that the 2025/2026 Screening and Registration Exercise remains strictly faculty-based. This means that each candidate must report to the faculty where they have been offered admission to undergo physical verification of documents before central registration can be completed.
The faculty-based approach offers several benefits:
-
Streamlined verification process: Faculties better manage specialized screening because they understand the academic requirements of their disciplines.
-
Avoidance of overcrowding: Instead of having thousands of freshers gathering at a central point, the distribution across faculties ensures orderliness.
-
Direct interaction with faculty officers: This helps students become familiar with faculty administrators, academic advisers, and departmental protocols early on.
Newly admitted students are encouraged to present themselves at their respective faculties immediately to avoid the last-minute rush that often characterizes school registration at large institutions.
Where to Get Complete Registration Guidelines
To ensure transparency and reduce confusion, UNILAG has provided an official guide that outlines:
-
Required documents for both UTME and Direct Entry candidates
-
Step-by-step instructions for online registration
-
Screening procedures at the faculty level
-
Important deadlines and actionable updates
-
Frequent mistakes students should avoid
Students who have not yet participated in the process are urged to visit the official link below for corrective information:

Required Documents for Screening
While the exact documents may vary slightly depending on the candidate’s faculty or mode of entry, the following are essential documents every fresher must present during the physical screening exercise:
-
JAMB Original Result Slip
-
UNILAG Screening Form / Acknowledgement Slip
-
Post-UTME Examination Slip (where applicable)
-
O’Level Result(s) (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) with not more than two sittings
-
Birth Certificate or Age Declaration
-
Local Government Identification Letter
-
Passport photographs (recent, clear, and acceptable specification)
-
Admission Letter issued via JAMB CAPS
-
Direct Entry candidates: Additional certificates such as ND, NCE, JUPEB, or A-Level results
Candidates are advised to come with original copies as well as photocopies for submission or documentation purposes.
Advisory for Students Yet to Register
Students who have not yet participated in the screening should take the extension seriously. UNILAG is known for its strict adherence to deadlines, and although this extension provides a generous window, another extension may not be guaranteed.
Candidates are encouraged to:
-
Begin the screening immediately rather than wait for the final days.
-
Organize their documents properly to avoid mistakes that may delay clearance.
-
Visit the faculty offices early in the day to reduce waiting time.
-
Stay updated on official UNILAG announcements through the school website and verified channels.
-
Avoid relying on third-party agents who may mislead or overcharge them.
The university also warns candidates to be wary of scams, fake information pages, and unofficial social media groups posing as UNILAG representatives.
Consequences of Missing the Registration
Although UNILAG has extended the registration, failure to complete screening within this new window could result in:
-
Loss of admission
-
Inability to generate a matriculation number
-
Ineligibility to participate in course registration
-
Automatic forfeiture of the admission slot to other awaiting candidates
The institution does not guarantee further extensions, as the academic calendar is already tight.
What Happens After Screening?
Once candidates successfully complete the screening and their documents are verified, they will proceed to the next stages of registration:
-
Central Registration on the UNILAG Portal
-
Payment of school charges/fees
-
Course advisory and departmental registration
-
Collection of University ID card (at a later stage)
-
Orientation programme for all freshers
UNILAG has a well-organized onboarding system for new students, and completing screening early puts candidates in a better position to settle down before lectures resume.
Final Note
The extension of the 2025/2026 Screening/Registration Exercise by the University of Lagos demonstrates the institution’s commitment to fairness, accessibility, and academic excellence. All newly admitted UTME and Direct Entry candidates who are yet to be screened are strongly urged to take full advantage of this opportunity.
With the new deadline slated for Friday, December 12, 2025, freshers now have ample time to organize their documents, visit their faculties, and complete all required academic processes without unnecessary pressure.
The management encourages students to follow official communication channels only and to ensure strict compliance with all guidelines.
