Lyrics of The LASU Anthem.

1. There’s a citadel founded with great vision, where character and learning’s the mission.
It’s a fountain for all who thirst for know-ledge.
The human race go to fledge.

Chorus:
Shine with your light out great citadel, in truth and service, in truth and service.
La-gos State U-ni-ver-si-ty.
Blase forth, shine, for humanity!
To-ge-ther, lift high our ban-er. Join-ing hands, every thought to gar-ner.
In ra-diance, bar-ring eve-ry shroud,
We are LASU and we are proud!
We are LASU and we are proud!

2. In its beau-ti-ful great acquatic splendor
So beguiled with nature like tendour.
With the mangrove, a forest rich and atleast,
To Forster th’envisioned quest.

3. We are blessed with culture and arts so great.
As crested in Eyo masquerade
Plus the fishing and countless boat regattas,
And make do with wine botas.

Those are the lyrics of the 3Stanza Official University Anthem chosen by Staff and Students of the Lagos State University through a voting process.

The selection event, which took place Tuesday 19th April, 2018 at the University Auditorium, Main Campus, Ojo, climaxed the competitive process which saw tens of entries submitted and screened out to the point of arriving at the best three.
