Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun, Vice-Chancellor, Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, has won the Global University Network for Innovation Africa (GUNA) award for 2020 for Exemplary Leadership in the West Africa region.

This award was presented by Professor Peter Okebukola, former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), on Wednesday in Lagos.

Okebukola said Fagbohun had changed the narrative, story and face of LASU, by making the institution the second best university in Nigeria.

“Nigeria has about 173 federal and state universities, while in other West African countries we have about 147 universities, altogether 320 universities in the West Africa region.

“This achievement is no mean feat and not earned on a platter of gold. This was achieved based on hard work and sterling leadership qualities of the vice-chancellor.

“I congratulate Fagbohun because this is a well-deserved honour,” Okebukola said.

The university’s Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Damola Oke commended GUNA for the award.

Oke had described Fagbohun as a well focused leader who knows and obeys the rules always.

“Fagbohun is very firm in taking decisions and the interest of the students and welfare of the staff are paramount to him,” he said.

“The last five years have been amazing, because we all did it together, I thank you all for the role you played in development of LASU,” he said.
