The Lagos State University (LASU) students can now take up part-time job, while they pursue their academic careers. Thanks to the job scheme initiated by management to alleviate the financial burden on indigent students in paying their fees.
The Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Lanre Fagbohun, said the job scheme would also give students opportunities to acquire skills that would prepare them for employment after their graduation. He said the aim was to create platforms for students to make legitimate money, while studying.
The school has announced the first phase of job schemes, which would allow students to be employed as workers in the school library. Students are expected to work for a few hours at various offices and earn wages that would be enough to sustain them through the session. The school is in partnership with the Students’ Union.
Prof Fagbohun said: “The LASU we are building is one that will become the best university in Africa and part of the things we are doing is to ensure our students learn skills as undergraduates. The part-time job is part of the schemes to equip students with skills that turn around their lives positively. We are looking at other possible areas where our students can learn, work and earn legitimately.”
Management directed all interested students to send applications to the librarian . Praising the management, Students’ Union president, Olawale Kappo, said the scheme would alleviate the challenges of indigent students.
