Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) in Lagos has been upgraded to a university.

The institution will now be known as Lagos State University of Education (LASUED).

In July, the House of Assembly Committee on Education (Tertiary Institutions) commenced work on AOCOED elevation.

In a statement on Thursday, the Chairman, Ajani Owolabi, provided an update on the reform.

The lawmaker recalled that the legislature considered his committeeā€™s report on the University of Education, Lagos (UNEDLAG) Bill, 2021.

Owolabi said after consultations and deliberations, some changes were made and included in recommendations.

It was agreed that ā€˜UNEDLAGā€™ be deleted and replaced with ā€˜LASUEDā€™ meaning ā€˜Lagos State University of Educationā€™.

Clause 39 (1) will now read: ā€œThe University shall operate a Multi-Campus system with the Main Campus in Adenran Ogunsanya, Otto/Ijanikin and its Annex at Micheal Otedola, Noforija, Epe.ā€

Other locations will be determined ā€œby the Visitors or Council from time to timeā€, the statement added.

Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ogun State is the first in Nigeria after its status was upped from College of Education in 2005.
