The management of Lagos State University has assured that no qualified student will spend an extra year at the institution because of missing results.

The assurance followed claims that about 100 final-year students in the Department of English risked an extra year.

The claims, which sparked outrage on social media, suggested that two lecturers failed to upload some of the students’ 300-level results. Many feared the affected students could be prevented from graduating with their peers.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the university said it had investigated the allegation and found that the Department of English had uploaded all outstanding results as of Sunday, 23 August 2026. The matter has therefore been resolved.

LASU stated that all students who have fulfilled the graduation requirements will graduate with their peers in the just-concluded 2025/2026 academic session. No student who has met all requirements will be made to spend an extra year because of the issue raised.

The university added that any student whose result remains outstanding after this action has yet to fulfil the requirements for graduation and should complete the necessary steps. It reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that students who have met all conditions are not unduly delayed in completing their programmes.
