Odusanya gave the advice while addressing the pioneer students of the institution at the orientation program on Friday, in Lagos, promising them uninterrupted academic calendar.
He said that some keys for students to excel in their studies include prompt attendance in class, active learning and reading further on their own.
“Others are, completing assignments, submitting them as and when due, participating in group academic activities, visiting the library and seeking help from academic advisors and teachers.
“On the part of the management, our vision is to make us a highly- competitive, globally-acclaimed, world-class university.
“We promise you that four years will be four years for the four-year programs, and same for the five years programs,” he said.

“I hereby welcome the students and congratulate them for being able to secure admission into the great citadel of learning.
“I encourage you all  to use all platforms provided by the university to ensure excellent performance in your academics,” Odusanya said.
He appreciated the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu for creating two additional universities in the state and reducing the school fee from N195,000 to N68,000 for the pioneer students.
Dr Seide Akoro, Dean, College of Basic Sciences, LASUSTECH, who spoke on behalf all the Deans of the Colleges, assured the students that they were in safe hands.
He said that any complaint should be forwarded to their college officers and then to their Heads of Department.
