Badagry, Lagos – The Director of Lagos State University’s School of Basic and Advanced Studies (LASUSBAS), Prof. Yunus Adeleke Dauda, has proudly declared that the institution maintains an unmatched academic record, with over 80% success rate in recent years.
Speaking on Thursday during the ongoing Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) exams at the Badagry campus, Prof. Dauda emphasized that LASUSBAS’s achievements speak for themselves, reinforcing its reputation as a leading preparatory institution in Nigeria.
Prof. Dauda revealed that the university has invested heavily in modern facilities to ensure smooth examinations. "We have provided well-equipped laboratories, transportation for hostel students, and other essential resources to support our candidates," he said.
"So far, the exams have been running seamlessly, thanks to our commitment to maintaining high standards." The director also highlighted the institution’s strong community relations, noting that the local Badagry residents have been supportive in creating a conducive learning environment for students.

"We ensure our students are well-prepared academically and morally, shaping them into disciplined scholars before they transition to the main university." He urged stakeholders to review the school’s past and present records as proof of its unwavering commitment to excellence.
Prof. Yinka Adeshina, a JUPEB invigilator from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), praised LASUSBAS for its well-behaved students and top-tier facilities. "I am particularly impressed by the library and the quality of textbooks available," he remarked.
