LASU vows to investigate admission racketeering claims, warning no staff can sell admission and urging candidates to report fraud

LASU admission racketeering allegations will be fully investigated, Lagos State University (LASU) has said, warning that anyone found guilty will face strict disciplinary measures.

The university management made this known in a Friday statement signed by Mrs. Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile, Deputy Registrar and Coordinator, Centre for Information and Public Relations.

She stressed that no staff member has the authority or capacity to offer admission in exchange for money, cautioning candidates against falling victim to false promises.

“The university refutes, in the strongest terms, any suggestion that admission can be bought.

We sympathise with candidates who, despite strong results, could not be admitted, but LASU cannot be coerced into exceeding its approved capacity,” the statement read.

Thomas-Onashile noted that LASU had followed with keen interest various posts on social media concerning the 2025/2026 admission exercise.

She explained that, although the university typically owes no explanation to applicants, it would not remain silent in the face of misinformation alleging staff involvement in admission racketeering.

She reiterated that LASU Law 2004, as amended, provides for a merit-driven admission process, with preference given to Lagosians under a 70-30 guiding principle.

This means that after merit admissions are concluded, Lagos indigenes are given priority consideration before other candidates.

“LASU has offered admission to candidates of all origins who scored highest in each course, strictly on merit.

Qualified and verified Lagos indigenes have also been admitted under supplementary and discretionary categories,” she said.

The institution, she added, was Nigeria’s most subscribed university in the 2025 JAMB UTME, attracting over 70,000 applicants.

With fewer than 20% admitted, frustration was inevitable but did not justify fraudulent practices.

The university expressed its strongest concern about allegations of racketeering. It warned that although some individuals might falsely claim to sell admission slots, the authority to admit rests solely with the Vice-Chancellor.

Management urged applicants and members of the public with verifiable evidence to report cases via complaints.admissions@lasu.edu.ng, assuring that every genuine report will be thoroughly investigated.

“Every genuine report will be investigated, and anyone found culpable will face strict disciplinary measures,” Thomas-Onashile reaffirmed.
