ABOUT LASUMEGA
Conceptualized in 2009, the Lagos State University Muslim Engineering Graduates Association earned its name through consultative efforts between Muslim students and alumnus in 2011.
After two successive transition administrations (in 2013 and 2017), the Association adopted its first set of legal frameworks (Constitution, Governance Manual and Electoral Regulations) at a Special General Meeting (SGM) held on the 17th December 2017. As established under the Constitution, the following are organs of the Association:
- General Members’ Assembly
- The Governing Council
- Board of Trustees
Hence, a Consultative (Shurah) Committee, also adopted at the same SGM, got its first mandate to:
- Call for nominations from Members into offices of the Governing Council of LASUMEGA.
- Present a substantive Governing Council for the Association, in a manner that complies with the adopted Electoral Regulations.
Consequently, in an event that marked full circle in the history of LASUMEGA, from the transition to substantive administration, the Shurah Committee after concluding its first task, presented to the Membership of the Association its pioneer Governing Council.
To support the building of world-class Muslim graduate engineers having employability and entrepreneurship skills, under sustainable learning and host community environments; and engendering the spirit of camaraderie towards the overall economic and social development of all members.
To support the provision of strategic developmental tools and platforms required to sustainably; equip Lagos State University Muslim engineering undergraduates spiritually and intellectually, under suitable learning and host community environments; and collectively emplace an effective and efficient social welfare support system for members.
