Professor Oyedamola Oke of the Faculty of Science, Lagos State University (LASU) on Friday emerged as the new Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) of the institution.
Acting Head, LASU Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations (CIPPR), Mr. Adekoya Martins, made this known on Saturday in Lagos.
Martins said he emerged as the DVC (Administration) following an election held by the University’s Senate members on Friday.

While congratulating Oke for his emergence as the DVC (Admin), the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun, said the election was credible and devoid of personal attacks and mudslinging.
“Even the conduct of the two candidates after the result was announced showed that they are men of character, and I am sure they will continue to work together for the institution,” he said.
Oke succeeds Professor Fidelis Njokanma of the LASU College of Medicine (LASUCOM) and is expected to hold the office for a period of two years.
He is a former Dean, Faculty of Science and current Coordinator, LASU Admissions.
