The University management is using this opportunity to appeal to our "PROSPECTIVE" students who chose LASU as their "PREFERRED" choice to "EXERCISE PATIENCE with respect to the frustration of NOT being able to complete their online registration which will be sorted out soon.
The university management assures you that NOBODY who had chosen LASU will be denied the right to participate, and for those who have paid, you will not be required to pay again once the problem is fixed.
Thank you for your understanding.

BEYOND KSU : VC urges FG to grant education loan to varsity students
The Vice Chancellor of the Redeemers University, Prof. Debo Adeyewa, on Friday advised the Federal Government to grant education loan to university students to enable them tackle school fees problems in their various institutions. Adeyewa gave the advice while addressing State House correspondents after a visit to the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by the university's Governing Council. He said that already, his university, though private, had been subsidising education.
``Education is expensive anywhere in the world. You need to accept that education is expensive.
``People talk about the fact that the poor cannot access education; we are keeping the poor poor(er) by not helping them to access education.
``In the private universities, if I tell you our budget for payment of salaries all the fees that we gather is not even enough to pay salaries and yet we must build infrastructure, we must do some other things.
``We contribute even to pay fees for students; so we are actually subsidising education; it is expensive.
``Now, let’s look at this, what we give to students is on the higher side because education is something that you need to give in qualitative and quantitative terms.
``So, what we are trying to say is that government can help by assisting, by giving education loans to students to assist them.
``By saying that education is free like the Federal Government is saying, it is not going to be sustainable.
``If education is free and you are not really giving the much money that is needed, you know what you are doing, you are offering university education at the primary school level.
``Quality and quantity must agree. ‘’
According to him, many private universities in the country do not make profit, yet, have to provide infrastructure, quantitative and qualitative education.
``Private universities are actually coming and you don’t know actually how many universities are actually making gains.
``We are actually making sacrifices and we are making it cheap.’’
Adeyewa said that the private universities deserved some kudos for rescuing the quality of education in Nigeria. He decried the penchant for Nigerian parents to send their children abroad for tertiary education in spite of having to pay more.
``Recently, I saw an advertisement that it is only 3,500 dollars for fees for (a) university outside the country.
``How much do we charge in this country?
``Parents have the money to send their children abroad but when it comes to Nigeria they want it free.
``Ghana is progressing more in education than Nigeria because they are tackling education at the grassroots.
``We need to overhaul the education system in Nigeria.’’
According to the vice chancellor, universities have important role to play in the change mantra of the present administration by promoting excellence and making discoveries. He specifically recalled the role played by his university in fighting Ebola and Lassa fever.
``That is what the universities should be known for: community service, dissemination of knowledge and service to humanity.’’
Also speaking with the correspondents, the Pro Chancellor of the university, Mr Tokumbo Adesanya, stressed the need for universities' administrators to change their mind set in order to work in tandem with the aspirations of the government.
``The universities in the country should be serious to contribute to the effort in the change that is taking place generally,’’ he said.
He said the council came to pay homage to the Vice President, as one of the founding members of the university, to congratulate him for his achievement in government so far.

8 Types Of Students You See In A University Library
If you are the type that visit the library very often, be
prepared to face the following type of people. And
don’t be surprised if you fall into one of the
categories.
Shall we?
The Popular Students
Oh my God! These set of students know almost every
staff in the library. In fact, their popularity is a source
of envy to other students. Once they arrive the library,
you see all the staffs greet them. They ask about their
family, their studies, previous night etc. These
students can chat with library officials for several
minutes till you begin to wonder if that is what they
have come to do.
The Pretenders
These student are so annoying. They either come to
the library to flirt or they come with someone. They
usually pretend they are reading. But give them some
minutes and you see them gently stroll outside when
the person they came to see step outside.
Book Testers
They are mostly found standing and strolling around
the library shelves. After taking a tour, they cramped
together three or four textbooks (couple with their
notebooks) before helping themselves to a seat. Even
you with one note will start to get intimidated. Before
you know it, the dive straight into their books and jack
as if their life depend on it. Only that 30minutes later,
they pack their note and outa they go. How pathetic.
So all na shakara
Library Heroes
They are married to the library. They open with the
library staff and close with them. You will think they
don’t attend lectures. But hey, they are front benchers
in lecture rooms too. God knows how many book they
have sampled. Kai she una no go kill person.
The Wanderers
You will think they have come to the library for a tour.
These students examine the tables and chairs, the
shelves and even the students sitting. They go in and
out of the library every now and then. Then put nail
for them sit? Haba!
The Onlookers
It is as if they have come to the library to sample
students. No one will pass -by without them throwing
a look. Any small sound, they will look. Wetin them dey
look, them wan spy students.
The Talkatives
God Almighty! They will surprise you. New gist
everyday and they never run out of ideas. One
moment, a staff will silent them and another moment
they have started their trade. These students can talk
eh! And they will not talk beneficial things. Na this
endless gossip, kilode.
The Disturbers
Once they spot you in the library-especially if u are a
guru-you are in trouble. Just know you will not be able
to concentrate on what you are reading except you
leave the library. They ask a combination of foolish,
sensible, interesting, and silly questions. So be
prepared.

15 Types Of People You Should Meet In Your 20s
The people you meet always add something to your
life, be it negative or positive. Regardless of the type of
impact they leave, you always learn a valuable lesson
from their presence. Below are the different types of
people you have to meet in your 20s to help shape you
into the person you want to be.
1. The Giver
This person has dedicated
their whole life to the
simple art of giving. Be it
giving a homeless person
loose change or their time
to an animal shelter, they
are always giving. Being
around this giving nature
will unintentionally
motivate you to give more
of yourself too.
2. The Adventurer
The Adventurer is always going somewhere and
always doing something unbelievably exciting.
Although you may not always be up for everything
they are up to, simply being around them when they
do thrilling things will inspire you to break out of your
comfort zone and do things you never would normally
do. This person will push you to travel the world,
which is what everybody in their twenties has to do at
some point.
3. The Helper
This person is always willing to help no matter what
their situation is. Whether it’s you in trouble or
someone else, this person is always ready to help.
Being around this person drives you to be more aware
of people who are in need of help and extend your
hand more than you usually would.
4. The Complainer
For this person, nothing is ever good enough. Nothing
can ever meet their standards. When you are around
them, all you ever hear is them complaining about
something or the other. Although this may not be the
healthiest environment, it helps you reflect on your
views in life and makes you appreciate things more.
Being around the complainer actually makes you
complain less.
5. The Risk-taker
This person is constantly taking risks in their
relationships or even in their workplace. They always
seem to place everything on the line, which may not
always work out well. Seeing them being extremely
brave with their choices motivates you to be the same
way. Even if you don’t become an extreme risk taker,
you end up pushing yourself to be more risky than you
usually would.
6. The Free-spirit
The Free-spirit has no ties to anything or anyone. They
are constantly changing jobs and moving from one
relationship to the next. They constantly move houses
and sometimes countries.You may find it very hard to
keep track of where this person is or what they are
doing. Their freedom reminds you to not take life so
seriously. They remind you how transient things can
be, which helps you enjoy moments in life more.
7. The Stable One
The complete opposite of the Free-spirit, the Stable
One has their life in order. They have the standard
nine to five job with the very stable relationship and a
lease contract valid for more than a year. These
people weren’t always this stable. In fact, they
probably were messes a couple of years ago. Being
around them reminds you that it’s possible to gain
stability even if it seems like your life is a mess. After
meeting them, you know that things will get better
with time.
8. The Bossy One
The Bossy One feels the need to take charge in every
situation, which can get incredibly irritating at times.
The Bossy One shows you how important taking
charge is but also when you need to take a step back.
9. The Honest One
This person will tell you to the truth no matter what. It
doesn ’t matter if you are in tears, you know you’ll hear
the honest answer to whatever question you just
asked. Their blunt attitude towards life keeps you on
track and reminds you how important the truth really
is.
10. The Optimist
The Optimist always puts a positive spin on whatever
situation they are in. Their blind positive attitude may
be irritating at times, but it reminds you that you
should always look on the bright side no matter what
obstacles cross your path.
11. The Pessimist
The Pessimist prevents you from floating away on The
Optimist’s cloud of positivity. They keep you grounded
by reminding you of all the things that could go wrong.
Their constant negative attitude on life keeps you in
touch with reality, but also makes sure you maintain a
balance between being a realist and an idealist.
12. The Married One
This person has found the love of their life and has
made the ultimate commitment. Knowing someone
like this helps you figure out what you want, while
subtly stressing the existence of love and it’s
importance.
13. The Manipulative One
Everyone has to meet The Manipulative One at some
point in their lives. This person manages to _get what
they want by using you as the pawn. After you realise
how you’ve been manipulated, you learn to be more
cautious in life. The Manipulative One teaches you to
be stronger than you thought you could be.
14. The Backstabber
When you meet this person, you will trust them with
everything only to have them use it against you. It’s
important you meet someone like this to remind you
that being trusting is the best quality you can have
while betraying trust is the worst.
15. The Wise One
This person has a quote stored in their minds that
applies to almost any situation you find yourself in.

the best advice when you find yourself stuck. Being
around The Wise One allows the wisdom to rub off on
you as well.
