Declaring the workshop open, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Bidemi Bilkis Lafiaji-Okuneye, described the initiative as a well-thought-out programme designed to address pressing institutional issues relating to leadership, mentorship, research, postgraduate programmes, student affairs, financial prudence, ethics, communication, and maintenance culture, all vital to sustaining LASUED’s academic and administrative excellence.
Prof. Lafiaji-Okuneye highlighted that since inception, LASUED’s journey has been guided by a clear and strategic vision to position the university as a globally competitive, research-driven, and professionally distinguished institution of teacher education.
She reaffirmed the university’s commitment to its guiding philosophy, encapsulated in the A.C.H.I.E.V.E. Agenda, which stands for Academic culture, Community relations, Human capacity development, Infrastructural growth, Entrepreneurship, Valuable research, and Excellence in professionalism.
