    The thirteen courses newly approved for LAUTECH are very relevant for the present growth and development of a technological orientated institution like LAUTECH. I am sure, the staff and the management of the institution will not abuse the confidence repose by the National University Commission. Undoubtedly, LAUTECH will take advantage of the opportunity and prove to the world that it is willing and ready to move the university to a greater height. The name "LADOKE AKINTOLA" is a noble and a great name. The spirit that surrounds the name will always direct the staff and the management of the institution. Surely, LAUTECH will always continue to contribute substantially to the academic and economic growth of Nigeria. The institution stands to improve and promote national unity which Nigeria, as a nation, needs for growth and development.
