The management of Lagos State University (LASU) has debunked reports that the dead Daibo Davies who plunged into Lagos lagoon was a graduate of the institution as reported by some media.
The institution’s Coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ademola Adekoya spoke on the issue in a statement in Lagos on Thursday.
Adekoya said that the institution does not offer any programme in Quantity Surveying, the programme which late Davies reportedly studied.
He said “The attention of the management has been drawn to media reports stating that the young man, who plunged into the lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos recently, was a fresh graduate of Quantity Surveying from the Lagos State University.

While the university sympathises with the family and relations of the Davies on the unfortunate incident, we find it pertinent to correct the media reports crediting his studentship to LASU.
“We enjoin the media to exercise more diligence in gathering their facts before publishing reports to avoid misleading the public.”
