The National Universities Commission (NUC) has commenced a resource verification exercise at the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), with a team led by Professor Uwaoma Uche visiting the institution to assess its readiness to run selected programmes.

The NUC team is conducting the verification for the Broadcasting, Public Relations, and Journalism and Media Studies departments at the university.

The exercise, which took place on Monday, August 17, 2026, is part of the regulatory processes through which the NUC evaluates universities and their academic programmes to ensure that they meet the required standards.

During the visit, the NUC team leader, Professor Uwaoma Uche, was received by the Vice-Chancellor of LASUSTECH, Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya, and other officials of the institution.

As part of the welcome activities, Professor Odusanya presented a souvenir to Professor Uche, marking the visit and the commencement of the resource verification exercise.

The verification team is expected to assess key areas required for the effective delivery of the programmes, including academic personnel, available facilities, equipment, learning resources and other relevant requirements.

The exercise is also expected to provide the commission with an opportunity to determine whether the university has the necessary human and material resources to support quality teaching, learning and research in the affected disciplines.

The visit underscores the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring that academic programmes offered by Nigerian universities meet prescribed standards and provide students with the facilities and academic environment required for effective learning.

The outcome of the verification exercise is expected to guide the NUC’s assessment of the programmes at LASUSTECH and determine the next steps in the regulatory process.
