The Lagos State Indigeneship verification exercise is a crucial step in LASU’s admission process; it is used to confirm whether an applicant is truly a Lagos State indigene.
This exercise is for candidates from Lagos State seeking admission into Lagos State University (LASU), as we all know LASU tends to favour their indigenes during their admission process.
The verification process is conducted by the Lagos State Indigeneship Verification Committee (IVC).
This involves thorough review of all documents submitted to ensure authenticity in the admission process.
The indigeneship verification exercise plays a vital role in ensuring fairness and transparency in LASU’s admission process to ensure proper allocation of indigenes’ quota in LASU’s admission process.
This process also helps to prevent fraudulent claims of origin.
Who is eligible for the LASU Indigeneship Verification exercise?
The LASU Indigeneship Verification Exercise is strictly for candidates who are applying for admission into Lagos State University and are from Lagos State.
Criteria for Applicants
To be eligible for the verification exercise, applicants must meet the following conditions:
- Must be of Lagos State Origin: The applicant must have ancestral roots in one of the recognised Lagos State local government areas.
- Chosen LASU as First Choice: Only candidates who selected LASU as their first choice institution in JAMB are considered.
- Possess Required Supporting Documents: Candidates must be able to present authentic documents that prove their indigeneship.
Special Considerations for Indigenes
LASU and the Lagos State Government recognise the importance of giving priority to genuine indigenes in the admission process. As such:
- Candidates from Epe, Ikorodu, Badagry, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, and Ikeja divisions are often given special attention, provided they meet the requirements.
- Children of civil servants from Lagos State, or those related to the Oba of Lagos or any traditional ruler in Lagos State, are also given priority during the admission process.
- Candidates with dual heritage (e.g., one parent from Lagos State) may be considered, but such cases are subject to stricter scrutiny and additional documentation.
