Lagos State Governor and Visitor to Lagos State University (LASU), Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a personal cash reward of N20 million each for the university’s overall best graduating students for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions.
The governor made the announcement on Wednesday during LASU’s 29th and 30th combined convocation ceremonies held at the university’s main campus in Ojo, Lagos.
The beneficiaries are Ayilara Lawal Olawale, who emerged as the best graduating student for the 2024/2025 academic session, and Adebanjo Samuel Oluolamide, who emerged as the overall best graduating student for the 2025/2026 session.
Olawale, a graduate of Project Management Technology, finished with a 4.96 CGPA and First Class Honours, while Oluolamide, who studied Aerospace Engineering, graduated with an impressive 4.97 CGPA, also with First Class Honours.
Sanwo-Olu described the N20 million award as his personal donation to the two outstanding graduates.
The latest reward doubles the N10 million incentive previously given to LASU’s overall best graduating student, highlighting the governor’s continued recognition of academic excellence at the institution.
LASU’s combined convocation ceremonies are celebrating thousands of graduates from the two academic sessions, with the university recording hundreds of First Class graduates.
