Students of the School of Agriculture at Lagos State University (LASU) have raised fresh concerns over the prolonged delay in the release of their academic results, describing the situation as a major disruption to their studies and future prospects.
The students alleged that results from the previous academic session are yet to be uploaded on the university portal, making it difficult for them to plan their academic progression as a new session begins and examinations draw near.
Speaking to journalists, some students said the delay has affected almost all departments and levels within the faculty, with the Department of Agricultural Extension reportedly among the worst hit. According to them, some recent graduates in the department have not received even their first-semester results.
The students traced the problem to May 2025, following the dismissal of the former Dean of the faculty, Prof. O.T.F. Abanikanda, over allegations of student abuse. They claimed that despite the appointment of a new dean, the backlog of results has persisted.
They further accused the faculty management of offering repeated explanations without concrete action, noting that the delay has denied them critical academic and career opportunities, including applications for scholarships, postgraduate programmes, and employment.
The students therefore called on the university management to intervene urgently and ensure the prompt release of all outstanding results to avert further damage to their academic and professional aspirations.
As of the time of filing this report, the management of Lagos State University had yet to issue an official response to the allegations.
