…all graduating students scored between 219 and 350 in 2025 UTME- Acting Principal
The Lagos State University International School (LASUIS) has held its 6th Valedictory Service and End-of-Session Party recently at the Buba Marwa Auditorium, celebrating its graduating class of 92 students with colour, pride, and a strong message of unity through diversity.
The ceremony featured inspiring speeches, music and dance performances, awards, and the formal handover of leadership to new student prefects, marking the send-off of Mr Abiodun Odumbo, the pioneer principal, who was honoured for his nine years of meritorious service.
In her address, Chairperson of the LASUIS Board, Professor Ayodeji O. Badejo, described the moment as “a culmination of years of learning, character building, and community strength.”
Reflecting on the theme, “United We Thrive: Celebrating Diversity and Strength for a Brighter Future Generation,” Prof. Badejo remarked “The unity we celebrate today is not accidental; it is intentional, and it is powerful.”
Acting Principal, Dr Fasasi Muyideen Kola traced the school’s journey from its 2016 inception, beginning with just 46 students and 16 staff, to a thriving institution of academic excellence with nearly 900 students.
According to him, LASUIS has recorded “100% success” in WAEC, BECE, and NECO since 2019, adding that despite national challenges in 2025, all graduating students scored between 219 and 350 in UTME.
Fasasi celebrated past and present students, citing the pioneer Head Girl, Miss Ogunsanmi Sophie Olabimpe, who is “currently preparing to defend her PhD thesis in the United States.” He affirmed the school’s zero tolerance for misconduct, stating, “We reward good conduct, but indolence, disobedience, and unruly behaviour are not tolerated.”
The graduation lecture, delivered by Mrs Olubusola Abidakun, Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Establishments and Training, powerfully framed unity in diversity as the defining trait of the Class of 2025, recalling how students overcame pandemic-era challenges by helping one another.
The ceremony also featured award presentations for academic and character excellence.
