The Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) has achieved a significant milestone with the receipt of full accreditation from the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) for its Mass Communication Department.
This accreditation grants the department the authority to train and produce advertising graduates in Nigeria, and is valid for five years, expiring in January 2030.
According to Professor Olumuyiwa Olamade, Dean of the College of Applied Social Sciences (CASS), this achievement is a testament to the university’s commitment to academic excellence.
“The College extends heartfelt congratulations to the Department of Mass Communication and expresses its gratitude to the Vice-Chancellor for meeting our accreditation requirements, leading to this significant achievement,” he said.
The accreditation follows a rigorous evaluation exercise conducted by ARCON in January 2025, which confirmed that LASUSTECH’s Mass Communication Department met the necessary standards to deliver quality advertising education.
As the university celebrates this milestone, it eagerly awaits the results of the professional accreditation for the Banking and Finance Department. Professor Olamade expressed optimism about the outcome, saying, “We remain hopeful that it will bring more good news from the College to the university community.”
