The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has enlisted the two new varsities in Lagos, Lagos State University of Science and Technology, LASUST, and Lagos State University of education, LASUED amongst schools open to provide tertiary education in the country.

The two new tertiary institutions increased the number of State owned varsities in the Centre of Excellence to three to join the Lagos State University, LASU.

A check by on the JAMB website affirms that both institutions have been listed on the JAMB website and have become available for university education seekers to pick as their preferred school of choice in the ongoing registration that was said to end on Saturday, March 26.

Confirming the new development, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Tokunboh Wahab, said that the inclusion of both institutions further signifies that tertiary education seekers now have the opportunity of obtaining their first-degree certificate from both schools.

He further stated that the addition of LASUST and LASUED to the list of institutions indicated that the Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration was passionate about developments of education in Lagos.
