University Has Launched an Investigation Into Allegations That Lecturers Failed to Upload Students' Results, a Situation Reportedly Linked

The controversy began after claims surfaced on social media that more than 100 students could not be convoked at the last graduation ceremony because a lecturer allegedly failed to upload their results since their 300-level studies. According to reports, some affected students now face the possibility of spending an additional year at the university, not because they failed their courses, but due to the alleged failure to upload their results. The issue was amplified by an X user, who alleged the problem affected more students than initially reported.

The user also accused a Head of Department of threatening some affected students, while claiming current 400-level students were facing similar challenges. Dear, they are now threatening the students and it's not just this set that are affected. The current 400l are also facing the same setback, the user wrote.

The user further claimed that over 1,000 students in the 200, 300 and 400 levels of the department were experiencing related academic problems. LASU management, in a post on its official X handle on Saturday, acknowledged the complaint and promised to look into the matter. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, the management said.

Meanwhile, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) President Akinteye Babatunde said on X on Saturday that the student body and the Joint Campus Committee, Lagos Axis, had opened discussions with the university management. In a separate post, he urged affected students to remain calm, saying the management had assured student leaders the issue would be addressed next week. To all students that are affected with this, please remain calm as discussions have been opened with the management by the leadership of NANS and JCC LAGOS AXIS.
