LASU resolves results issue, assures qualified students of graduation

Lagos State University has resolved a controversy regarding the delayed uploading of results for some final-year students in its Department of English, assuring that all affected students who have completed their requirements will graduate on schedule. The university made the announcement on Sunday, August 23, 2026, following an internal review and days of student concerns about potential graduation disruptions.

In a statement released by university management, LASU confirmed that all outstanding results for the department had been uploaded as of August 23. This action came in response to an enquiry into allegations that non-uploaded marks could force certain students to spend an additional academic year, delaying their graduation from the 2025-2026 session. The institution explicitly addressed and dismissed these fears.

"The University wishes to clarify that the Department has uploaded all outstanding results as of Sunday, 23 August 2026," the official statement read. "LASU consequently assures students who had satisfied all academic and other graduation requirements that they will graduate alongside their colleagues from the just-concluded 2025-2026 academic session."
