DRIVING THE T.H.E.M.E.S PLUS AGENDA: LASCOCO CELEBRATES 6TH MATRICULATION CEREMONY.
The multipurpose hall of the Lagos State Cooperative College (LASCOCO) was transformed into a hub of academic celebration yesterday, March 12, 2026, as the College held its 6th Matriculation Ceremony. It was an inspiring day dedicated to officially welcoming a new generation of leaders and innovators into the College’s esteemed academic community.
Anchored by the Registrar, Mrs. Harrison-Fasakin Senume Omolade, the ceremony saw students from various departments formally inducted into the academic community after taking their solemn oaths. In a symbolic display of academic tradition, Departmental Heads presented their students to the Provost across the College’s key programmes, including National Diploma (ND) students in Computer Studies, Cooperative Economics and Management, and Micro-Finance & Enterprise Development, alongside those in the Professional Diploma in Cooperative Studies and our flagship Skill Acquisition Programme.
Delivering his remarks, the Chairman of the Governing Council, Mr. Oyebowale R. Raji, FCA, reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to transforming LASCOCO into a premier African hub for cooperative education and entrepreneurship. He expressed profound gratitude to Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for his unwavering investment in youth empowerment and urged the matriculants to use their acquired knowledge to uplift society and innovate with integrity.
In his address, the Provost, Dr. Walid Gbadebo Adebosin, highlighted how the College’s technical and vocational training directly supports the State’s strategic THEMES Plus development agenda. He noted the success of the Technical Skill-Up Programme, which prepares students for internationally recognized certifications like City & Guilds, while challenging the students to move beyond seeking certificates toward building the capacity to think critically and solve real-world problems.
To our new students: your journey toward becoming ambassadors of cooperative excellence starts now.
