LASUSTECH SHINES WITH 100% NUC ACCREDITATION SUCCESS, PROVING LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE

 

Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) has secured accreditation for all 25 of its academic programmes, which it presented to the National Universities Commission (NUC) during the October/November 2024 Accreditation Exercise. The results, released in a letter addressed to the Vice Chancellor with reference number NUC/ES/412/VOL.14/387 and signed by Engr. Abraham Chundusu, the acting Director of Accreditation, shows impressive outcomes: 22 full accreditations (88.0%) and three interim accreditations (12.0%).

 

The results showcase meticulous planning, resource allocation, and academic rigour under the Vice Chancellor’s leadership. The NUC’s rigorous evaluation, which assesses staffing, infrastructure, and academic quality, showcased LASUSTECH’s excellence across multiple colleges. Notably, no programme was denied accreditation, a rare achievement for a university still in its formative years.

 

The College of Applied Social Sciences (CASS), also classified as Administration, led the charge, with all six programmes—Accounting, Business Administration, Marketing, Actuarial Science, Banking and Finance, and Office and Information Management—securing full accreditation. Scores ranged from 86.9% to an outstanding 95.6%, reflecting robust academic standards and faculty expertise.

 

In the College of Agriculture, programmes such as Animal Science, Crop Science, Agricultural Extension, Fisheries, and Horticulture achieved scores exceeding 80%, securing full accreditation. Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, however, received interim status with an overall score of 80.9%, influenced by a staffing score of 68.6%.

 

The College of Basic Sciences achieved outstanding results, with Physics with Electronics, Mathematics, Microbiology, and Statistics all scoring above 90%. Physics and Mathematics led the rankings with scores of 96.6% each. Although Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry reported scores exceeding 80%, they were assigned interim status due to staffing challenges.

 

The Colleges of Environmental Sciences and Social Sciences/Administration shone brightly, with all programmes earning full accreditation. Standouts included Mass Communication (92.7%), Industrial Design (95.6%), and Economics, which led the university with an exceptional 97.4%.

 

The Vice Chancellor, Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya, on behalf of Management, expresses profound gratitude to all LASUSTECH staff and the Visitor. “As Vice-Chancellor, I remain deeply grateful to all members of staff and students. We dedicate this outstanding achievement to our visitor, Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. We are deeply grateful to the Honourable Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr. Tolani Sule, and the Governing Council, led by Professor Rasheed Kola Ojikutu. We have 14 programmes this year, and we cannot perform lower than this standard.”

 

Meanwhile, in a message authored by the Protem Secretary of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), LASUSTECH Chapter, Comrade Soneye Olufemi Sobowale attributed the success of the accreditation exercise to the commitment of staff and visionary leadership of the Vice Chancellor. “Central to this success is the unwavering dedication of the members of ASUU LASUSTECH. Their commitment to upholding academic standards, engaging in continuous professional development, and fostering an environment conducive to learning played a pivotal role in achieving this feat.”

Soneye further stated, “Equally commendable is the proactive leadership of the university administration under the stewardship of Vice Chancellor Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya. The administration’s strategic initiatives, including infrastructural development and academic staff support, have been instrumental in positioning LASUSTECH as a centre of academic excellence.”

UKA UNVEILS THREE-TIER ATC PLATFORM AS MONARCH ANNOUNCES $10BN GOLD-BACKED MILESTONE

UKA UNVEILS THREE-TIER ATC PLATFORM AS MONARCH ANNOUNCES $10BN GOLD-BACKED MILESTONE

 

Emperor Nobilis Prof Solomon Winning declares global recognition of ATC ecosystem, urges citizens and partners to embrace unified digital, crypto and gold-backed financial structure

The Reigning Monarch of the United Kingdom of Atlantis (UKA), Emperor Nobilis Prof Solomon Winning, has formally announced what he described as a historic milestone in the financial evolution of the Atlantis nation and empire worldwide, the consolidation and global recognition of the ATC financial ecosystem backed by a $10 billion gold reserve.

In a voice message released from the Office of the Throne, the Monarch expressed gratitude to God and to citizens and partners across the globe for what he termed a “defining achievement” in the journey of the United Kingdom of Atlantis.

According to him, the ATC asset structure, supported by a $10 billion gold-backed certificate, has now been positioned among the world’s leading capitalisation financial platforms, ranking number 12 globally.
“We appreciate God for the milestone achieved of our 10 billion gold-backed certificate of ATC assets. We are delighted to inform our esteemed citizens, partners, viewers and friends all over the world that ATC has come to stay,” the Monarch declared.

Three Distinct but Interconnected ATC Platforms

Emperor Winning explained that the UKA Government and the Atlantis nation have officially released three integrated ATC platforms to the general public. He emphasised that while each platform serves a distinct purpose, they are structured to interact seamlessly for effective management, business transactions and global trading operations.

1.ATC Digital (Government Platform)

The first platform, known as ATC Digital, is the official government-backed digital transaction system. It is designed to facilitate digital financial operations within the UKA ecosystem and serve as the administrative and transactional backbone of the nation’s digital economy.

The Monarch described it as the formally recognised digital framework governed directly by the government under the Throne.

ATC Gold Version (Business and Trade Platform). The second platform, referred to as the ATC Gold Version, is primarily tailored for business trade, commercial exchange and transactional fluidity. It is structured to enhance business-to-business engagement, exchangeability and broader economic interaction.
“This version is mainly for business trade, business exchange and commercial transactions,” he clarified.

ATC Crown Coin (Crypto and Visitor Platform)
The third platform, known as the ATC Crown Coin, represents the Atlantis Crown Coin and is linked to what the monarch described as the Atlantean Bank Gold structure. This version operates as a crypto and digital hybrid, including visitor engagement capabilities and broader exchange functions.

The Monarch indicated that all three platforms are interconnected to ensure efficiency, transparency and global recognition.
“Please do not be confused. The United Kingdom of Atlantis has three major versions of ATC. Two are crypto-based, one is digital; one is also a hybrid of crypto and digital. All three interact together for effective management and effective business transactions.”

Global Recognition and Expansion Vision

Emperor Winning further asserted that the ATC ecosystem is already recognised internationally and positioned within the global financial framework. “Our platforms are presently recognised in the whole world,” he said, while encouraging existing holders of ATC assets to remain confident in the system.
He congratulated all ATC holders and reiterated the Throne’s commitment to strengthening the ecosystem’s credibility, usability and cross-platform functionality.

A Strategic Financial Architecture

Observers say the three-tier structure reflects an attempt by the United Kingdom of Atlantis to create a multi-layered financial architecture combining government-regulated digital systems, crypto-based trade platforms and gold-backed reserve credibility.

By integrating digital governance with cryptocurrency and gold certification, the UKA appears to be positioning ATC as both a sovereign-backed asset and a tradable global instrument.

As the UKA advances its financial ambitions, the monarch’s message signals a push for adoption, participation and global engagement with the ATC ecosystem.
“If you are a holder of ATC, congratulations to you from the Throne. God bless you,” the monarch concluded.

The development marks another significant chapter in the evolving digital and gold-backed finance narrative emerging from the United Kingdom of Atlantis.

FRSC@ 38: SHEHU MOHAMMED STEERING NIGERIA’S ROAD SAFETY REVOLUTION TO GREATER HEIGHTS

Published

FRSC CORPS MARSHAL COMMISERATES WITH FAMILIES OF DECEASED PERSONNEL KILLED IN ACTIVE SERVICE

FRSC@ 38: SHEHU MOHAMMED STEERING NIGERIA’S ROAD SAFETY REVOLUTION TO GREATER HEIGHTS

By Deputy Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem (Rtd) fsi, MNIM, anipr

 

When Mallam Shehu Mohammed assumed leadership as Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), he inherited not just an institution with history, but a national mandate that touches every family, every highway, and every community in Nigeria. At 38 years, the Corps stands tall as Africa’s model road safety agency, and under his stewardship, that legacy is not merely preserved, it is being boldly redefined.

 

Nigeria’s highways were once synonymous with fear. Before 1988, the World Health Organisation ranked Nigeria among the most dangerous countries in the world to drive. It was a troubling indictment that demanded courage and clarity of purpose. The establishment of the FRSC under Decree No. 45 of 1988 laid the foundation for reform. But sustaining and advancing that reform across decades requires visionary leadership, the kind now exemplified by Mallam Shehu Mohammed.

 

Today, under his command, the Corps is consolidating its position as one of the most technologically advanced and operationally efficient law enforcement institutions in Nigeria. With renewed strategic focus, the present leadership has deepened the Safe Systems Approach built on people, processes, and technology, ensuring that safety interventions are not reactive, but preventive and intelligence-driven.

One of the defining hallmarks of his administration is accelerated digital transformation. Within six months, over 3,000 personnel were trained to strengthen operational competence and technological adaptability. More than 95 per cent of the Corps’ administrative and operational processes are automated, supported by over 30 web-based applications that enhance traffic governance nationwide. From the National Crash Reporting Information System (NACRIS) to the upgraded e-ticketing platform, innovation is no longer optional; it is institutional culture.

 

Emergency response under the current Corps Marshal has become faster and more coordinated, with nationwide response time reduced dramatically from 50 minutes to 15 minutes. The 122 toll-free emergency line and 24-hour National Call Centre continue to serve as lifelines for distressed road users, reflecting a leadership that understands that every second counts.

 

Strategic stakeholder engagement has equally flourished. Safe corridor initiatives have been strengthened, collaboration with transport unions intensified, and enforcement around articulated vehicles tightened. The result is a significant reduction in tanker-related crashes, a development that speaks to deliberate policy direction and disciplined implementation.

 

Under Mallam Shehu Mohammed’s leadership, data has become a central pillar of enforcement and planning. Through strengthened collaboration with the National Identity Management Commission, the National Bureau of Statistics, and the Nigeria Customs Service, the Corps has advanced harmonized data systems that support evidence-based interventions. Transparent weekly crash trend reporting now guides targeted deployment and corrective strategies.

Nigeria’s standing on the global stage has also been reinforced. The country remains an active participant in the renewed UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021–2030) and continues alignment with international road safety conventions. These achievements build on the solid foundation laid by past leaders from Olu Agunloye and General Haladu Hannaniya to Chief Osita Chidoka, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, and Dauda Ali Biu, but under the present Corps Marshal, the momentum has unmistakably intensified.

 

Operationally, the Corps’ footprint now spans 12 Zonal Commands, 37 Sector Commands, over 300 Unit Commands, over 700 Station Offices, 59 Zebra Emergency Ambulance Points, and presence in all 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria. Yet beyond physical structures lies a stronger institutional spirit, one driven by discipline, professionalism, and accountability.

From a nation once ranked among the most unsafe for motorists to a continental pacesetter in road safety management, Nigeria’s transformation story is inseparable from the strength of its leadership. At 38 years, FRSC is not simply celebrating longevity; it is celebrating purposeful stewardship.

Mallam Shehu Mohammed represents a generation of reform-minded leadership committed to smarter mobility systems, data-driven enforcement, and people-centered safety administration.

 

His tenure reflects continuity with courage sustaining the Corps’ proud legacy while boldly steering it toward greater innovation and measurable impact.

 

The road ahead is demanding. But under his steady command, Nigeria’s highways are safer, its systems smarter, and its future brighter.
