Lagos State University of Education  popularly known as LASUED  is a state government-owned university located in Lagos State, South-West Nigeria. The university officially emerged in 2022 following the merger of the former Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED), Oto/Ijanikin, and Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCPED), Noforija, Epe. LASUED is recognised as the first specialized University of Education in Lagos State and one of the few dedicated education universities in Nigeria.

The institution was established to produce highly skilled teachers, researchers, administrators, and professionals in education and related disciplines. LASUED offers undergraduate degree programmes, diploma programmes, certificate programmes, and postgraduate studies across multiple colleges including Humanities, Sciences, Vocational Education, Technology Education, Languages, Social Sciences, and Professional Education.

The university operates two major campuses:

• Oto/Ijanikin Campus along Badagry Expressway
• Noforija, Epe Campus

LASUED is fully approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC), and its programmes are recognised nationwide.

History of the Institution

The history of LASUED is closely connected to the development of teacher education in Lagos State. The university evolved from two long-standing colleges of education owned by the Lagos State Government — Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) and Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCPED).

AOCOED itself traces its roots to the Lagos Teacher Training College at Ebute Elefun, Lagos Island, making it one of the oldest teacher-training institutions associated with Lagos State educational development. Over decades, both AOCOED and MOCPED trained thousands of teachers and education professionals across Nigeria.

In February 2022, the National Universities Commission (NUC) approved the establishment of Lagos State University of Education after the merger of both institutions. The university immediately commenced operations with sixty-seven take-off programmes across several colleges.

LASUED was created to address the growing demand for modern teacher education, educational technology, entrepreneurship, special education, and professional academic training in Lagos State and Nigeria at large. Since its establishment as a university, the institution has expanded its academic offerings, digital learning systems, research activities, and campus infrastructure.

Notice Board

LASUED ASUU Suspends Strike, Academic Activities Resume October 12

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Lagos State University of Education Chapter (ASUU-LASUED), has announced the suspension of its industrial action following a congress meeting held on Thursday, 8 October 2026. The decision followed deliberations on the union’s demands and recent developments regarding the implementation of allowances by the Lagos State Government.

The union commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for approving the 40% Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA), 10% Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) and professorial allowances. However, it stated that other aspects of the 2025 Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)/ASUU agreement, including salary arrangements for retired professors and the proposed Lagos Factor Allowance, would require further discussions with the state government.

The congress also resolved that deductions relating to the recapitalisation of NUPEMCO shares should commence from the October 2026 salary, subject to the implementation of the approved allowances. The union added that it would continue pursuing its outstanding demands through further engagement with the relevant authorities.

Following these resolutions, ASUU-LASUED has suspended the strike, with academic activities scheduled to resume on Monday, 12 October 2026. The statement was signed by Comrade Olayemi G. Abimbola, Vice Chairperson, and Comrade Ibraheem A. Alabi, Secretary. Students are advised to follow official university announcements for further information on the resumption of academic activities.
