Fresh from emerging as Nigeria’s most subscribed university for the second consecutive year, Lagos State University has recorded another milestone with the award of ₦25 million by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
The university received the cash prize on Monday at the 2026 JAMB Policy Meeting in Abuja as part of the National Tertiary Admissions Performance-Merit Award (NATAP-M Awards).
LASU emerged as the second runner-up institution in the overall category of the prestigious award, securing an aggregate score of three points across the five assessment elements of the Mega Award in the sixth edition for the 2025 admission year.
The award was presented to the Vice-Chancellor of LASU, Ibiyemi Ibilola Olatunji-Bello, by the Registrar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede.
The latest recognition comes on the heels of the university’s emergence as Nigeria’s most preferred institution for the 2026 admission exercise, with a record 84,326 candidates selecting LASU as their first-choice institution in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Speaking on the achievements, the Vice-Chancellor described the twin honours as a reflection of the institution’s commitment to excellence, innovation, transparency, and student-centred administration.
