Lagos State University (LASU) has commenced work-study scheme with ten students – to help them acquire work experience that will build their CVs even while still in the university.

The Lagos State University has again set the pace for other public universities in Nigeria by being one of the first institutions in the country to commence a Work-Study Scheme for her students.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, mni, while receiving the ten pioneer students of the programme at her office, on Thursday, said it is her administration’s way of empowering the students with work experience right from the University.

She said, “I congratulate you for this opportunity that you have received from the university. Work-Study is very rare in universities now so you are lucky being among our pioneer students. The main purpose is for you to acquire work experience that will build your CV even while still in the university. I encourage you to make the best use of this opportunity.”
