Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) has welcomed 9,772 new undergraduate students to its academic community on Thursday.
These students, hailing from all 35 states in Nigeria, successfully navigated the screening and registration processes to secure spots in the university’s 13 faculties.
At the matriculation ceremony, Vice Chancellor Professor Razaq Kalilu, represented by Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Adepoju Ogunkunle, urged the new students to uphold the institution’s rules and regulations. He emphasized the importance of focusing on their studies and adhering to the university’s code of conduct to avoid disciplinary action.
Professor Kalilu also assured the students of the university’s commitment to their security, announcing the deployment of security surveillance devices to student residences. This measure aims to monitor activities, respond to situations, and discourage undesirable groupings.
To motivate the new students, Professor Kalilu announced a scholarship for the best 100-level student in the 2023/2024 academic session, Ayoola Taofikat Olamide from the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences.
