Prof. Adeyemo maintained that since its inception, Lead City University has remained committed to maintaining high academic standards. According to him, the university has secured full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and other professional bodies, ensuring its graduates remain competitive both locally and internationally.

Under his leadership, Prof. Adeyemo said LCU has expanded its academic programs from 40 to 120, introducing disciplines such as Medicine and Surgery, Doctor of Pharmacy, Doctor of Physiotherapy, Dentistry, and various engineering and environmental sciences courses. He added that the university recently obtained NUC approval to offer Ph.D. programs across all faculties, further cementing its reputation as a center of academic excellence.

Infrastructure and Technological Advancement

In its bid to provide a conducive learning environment, Prof. Adeyemo revealed that Lead City University has made substantial investments in state-of-the-art facilities, saying the institution has completed multiple infrastructure projects, including 15 hostel blocks, an ultra-modern sports stadium, a new Senate Building, a College of Medicine, and a Faculty of Environmental & Design Management. Additionally, he said the university has expanded its hospital and installed hybrid solar energy to enhance sustainable power supply.

“The university also boasts well-equipped laboratories, e-libraries, and an advanced ICT infrastructure that supports e-learning and digital research”, Prof. Adeyemo added.

Community Engagement and Research Impact

Beyond academics, Adeyemo noted that LCU is actively involved in community service and social responsibility initiatives. According to him, the university has facilitated health outreach programs, entrepreneurship training, and community development projects. Notably, he said LCU won an international grant of ₦180 million from Seeding Lab, a Boston-based organization, for laboratory equipment, further enhancing its research capabilities.

He said: “Student enrollment has surged from 4,000 to over 20,000, reflecting the university’s growing appeal. LCU’s global reputation has also been strengthened through collaborations with institutions in Europe, America, and Africa. The Vice-Chancellor’s appointment as a Council Member and Trustee of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) has further positioned the university on the international stage”.

Alumni Success and Industry-Academia Collaboration

“LCU’s alumni have made remarkable strides across various industries, including business, technology, medicine, law, entertainment, and public service. To bridge the gap between academia and industry, the university has strengthened collaborations with organizations, offering students internship opportunities, mentorship, and exposure to emerging trends in their fields.

“Entrepreneurship education is now a core component of LCU’s curriculum, ensuring graduates are equipped with marketable skills for self-employment. Students participate in industry-led workshops, digital skills training, and hands-on projects that foster innovation and self-reliance”.

Internationalization and Future Prospects

“Recognizing the importance of globalization in higher education, Lead City University is actively working to expand its international reach. The institution is forging partnerships with global universities, facilitating student and faculty exchange programs, and seeking international accreditations for its programs.

“Investment in technology and digital learning platforms is another key focus, with the aim of offering online degree programs and virtual classrooms to attract international students”.

Commitment to Excellence

“As LCU celebrates this milestone, Prof. Adeyemo reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to academic excellence, research, and innovation. He emphasized that the university would continue to enhance staff development through workshops, research funding, and participation in global academic events.

“The university has also awarded over ₦322 million in scholarships to 905 students in the 2022/2023 academic session, reflecting its dedication to educational accessibility and merit-based opportunities”.

A Vision for the Future

“Lead City University’s 20-year journey is a testament to its unwavering commitment to quality education, research excellence, and societal impact. Looking ahead, the university aims to further strengthen its global partnerships, enhance vocational and technical education, and continue its legacy of nurturing future leaders.

“As the celebrations continue, the university community, stakeholders, and alumni remain united in their vision to build an institution that not only shapes individual destinies but also contributes to national and global development.

“Long live Lead City University. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, Prof. Adeyemo stated.
