The Dean of the school, Prof. Sunday Alawode, broke the news to the university management on Tuesday.

He appreciated the Vice-Chancellor for giving the school her support, which he said led to the full accreditation of the programme.

The Vice-Chancellor (V-C) of the institution, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, in her address called for more synergy among the staff for the success of the university.

Olatunji-Bello said that apart from APCON, the National Universities Commission (NUC) accreditors noticed the synergy among the staff when they visited LASU, which means we were doing something right.

“Whatever you are doing right, please continue.

“This is a thing of joy for the School of Communication, the university and the management. I am happy with this result and I want to thank everyone who worked very hard to make us achieve this,” she said.
