Sanwo-Olu disclosed this  while receiving members of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities led by Professor Samuel Gowon Edoumiekumo during a courtesy visit at Lagos House, Ikeja. 

The two universities which would specialize in technology and education may be establish very soon.

He disclosed, “Plans are in top gear to establish two additional universities of technology and education in the state which would enable the leaders of tomorrow to compete favourably globally”.

Governor Sanwo-Olu also pledged his administration’s commitment to the adequate and continued funding of tertiary institutions in the state.

Governor Sanwo-Olu has also clarified that he has no anointed candidate for the vacant post of Vice-Chancellor (VC) at the Lagos State University (LASU).
