LASU Launches New E-Learning Portal for GNS Courses

The Lagos State University (LASU) GNS courses are now accessible through a re-engineered e-learning portal. This new platform aims to enhance the learning experience and address the challenge of accommodating the large number of students during the GNS teaching belt. The Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS), in collaboration with the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), has developed this platform to support hybrid learning in line with the CCMAS and BMAS curricula.
