LASU: No Extra Year for Qualified English Graduating Students

The management of Lagos State University,LASU, Ojo, has assured qualified students in the Department of English that they will not be made to spend an extra year because of missing results. The assurance follows reports that about 100 final-year students were at risk of an additional year after some of their 300-level results were allegedly not uploaded by two lecturers. The development generated reactions on social media, particularly on X, as students and concerned individuals feared the affected students could be prevented from graduating with their colleagues. However, LASU, in a statement issued on Sunday, said the matter had been resolved following an investigation, adding that all outstanding results in the Department of English had been uploaded as of Sunday, August 23, 2026.

LASU stated that students who had fulfilled all graduation requirements would graduate alongside their colleagues in the 2025/2026 academic session, stressing that no qualified student would spend an additional year because of the issue. However, the university clarified that students whose results remained outstanding after the latest update may not have completed all requirements for graduation and advised them to fulfil any outstanding requirements. The managem ent also reiterated its commitment to ensuring that students who meet all academic requirements are not unnecessarily delayed in completing their programmes.
