LASU GETS TETFUND N3 BILLION CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR AI, ROBOTICS AND CYBER SCIENCES Lagos State University has emerged the sole beneficiary institution for the establishment of a Tertiary Education Trust Fund Centre of Excellence on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Cyber Sciences (ARCS) in Southwest Nigeria. Under the 2026 Special Intervention Projects allocation, TETFund has approved the sum of Three Billion Naira (₦3,000,000,000.00) for the establishment of the Centre, which will drive research, innovation, and capacity development in Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Robotics, Coding, and related digital technologies. LASU's selection followed a rigorous national evaluation process in which the university distinguished itself through demonstrated capacity, existing institutional infrastructure, and a verifiable track record of excellence in emerging digital technologies. The recognition affirms Lagos State University's well-earned standing as the "Most Digitally Advanced State University in Nigeria", a position built through years of deliberate and sustained investment in Information, Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, digitised academic and administrative systems, and a clear institutional commitment to technology-driven education. The University Management under the leadership of Distinguished Professor Ibiyemi Ibilola OLATUNJI-BELLO, mni, NPOM, described the approval as both a recognition of what has been achieved, and a responsibility toward what remains to be done. The Centre is expected to further consolidate LASU's leadership in technology education, whilst equipping young Nigerians with the critical digital competencies required to participate meaningfully in the global knowledge economy. The initiative aligns directly with TETFund's national mandate to strengthen Nigeria's technological capabilities, close the widening digital skills gap, and prepare the next generation of Nigerians for opportunities in an increasingly technology-dependent world. The Lagos State University Management expressed profound gratitude to the Federal Government and TETFund for this significant investment, and reaffirmed the University's unwavering commitment to maximising the Centre's impact, not only for its students and staff, but for the wider Nigerian society that this institution was established to serve. The Vice-Chancellor, Distinguished Professor Ibiyemi Ibilola OLATUNJI-BELLO, mni, NPOM, congratulates the entire Lagos State University community on this landmark achievement. We Are LASU. We Are Great. Signed: Olaniyi S. JEARIOGBE (Mr) Chief Public Relations Officer/Head, Media Relations Unit, For: Deputy Registrar/Coordinator, Centre for Information and Public Relations, CIPR-LASU
