IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CANDIDATES

LASU emphasised that the Indigeneship Verification Exercise is a mandatory pre-admission requirement for candidates of Lagos State origin.

The university warned candidates against making payments through individuals, agents, or unauthorised accounts, stating that payments made through unofficial channels are entirely at the candidate’s risk.
