Ojo, Lagos State - The management of LASU, an becauseLagos State University (LASU), has said it is investigating a complaint that more than 100 students were prevented from graduating because a lecturer failed to upload their results as far back as their 300-level year.
The university responded on Saturday, August 22, 2026, to a post by a user identified as Son Of Ayo (@TheAjakeManger), who on August 21 alleged that students who sat their examinations were now facing an extra year not because they failed, but because the results were never entered into the system.

The university's official, via his X account, @LASUOfficial, stated that:
"The attention of the University Management has been drawn to this allegation, and the matter is currently being looked into. Thank you for bringing it to our attention."
The original post, which had gathered 33,200 views by the evening of August 22, also alleged that when affected students raised the issue, a Head of Department told them to "trust the process."
Complaints from other LASU students
The university's response drew further complaints from current students who said the problem was wider than the graduating set.
@obi_anyaibe wrote that unuploaded results and erroneous outstanding courses were also affecting incoming 200-level, 300-level, and 400-level students.
@GeeKinqest__ added that students moving into 400-level were carrying two English course outstandings from 200-level, alongside course code changes that had left approximately four zeroes on their academic portals.
Other users questioned why the university management was unaware of the situation before it became a social media issue.
@Olaworeabi18417 asked how an institution with an examinations and records department could only learn of the problem through public outcry, pointing out that clear timelines exist for when lecturers must submit results.
@adamsabdulshak2 raised concerns that the issue had been ongoing for some time and questioned what steps management had previously taken to stop it from recurring.
@Olajide1699589 was more direct, writing:
"Are you telling us you are not aware of what's going on in your school before it reached Twitter? Most of y'all are just incompetent."
Not all responses were critical of the institution. @TenQQGod called on the public to recognise staff members performing well, singling out Mrs Abiodun Meruwoma of the LASU examinations and records department for praise over her handling of alumni transcripts and other record matters.
@Praise1134 directed frustration at lecturers directly:
"It is God that will punish useless lecturers that don't give students their real score."
LASU had not provided further details on its findings or a timeline for resolution as of the time of this report.
