The Lagos State University, LASU has issued a directive restricting the unauthorised use of its campuses and facilities for content creation, citing concerns over offensive and inappropriate materials that could harm the institution’s reputation.
In a notice issued on Friday, the University expressed concern over the growing trend of students and other individuals using LASU premises to produce skits, videos, vox pops, short films, and other audiovisual content without approval.
LASU stated that while it supports creativity and responsible self-expression, some content produced on campus misrepresents the institution’s values and undermines its integrity as a centre of learning and character development.
Consequently, the University directed that all individuals, including students, staff, and members of the public, must obtain prior approval from the Centre for Information and Public Relations (CIPR) before engaging in any cinematographic activities on any LASU campus or facility.
The management also warned that the use of drones within the University environment without authorisation from the Security Department is strictly prohibited, citing safety and security concerns.
LASU management appealed for cooperation from all stakeholders, stressing its commitment to preserving the dignity and sanctity of the University environment.
