LSMTL SET TO PARTNER LASUSTECH ON RESEARCH PROCESS

… To Commence Aggressive Actions Against Substandard Steel Coming To Lagos

The Lagos State Materials Testing Laboratory Agency (LSMTL) is set to commence a Research Educational system to enhance undergraduates’ learning process in the Engineering development field.

The symbiotic liaison is targeted at establishing a Materials Testing Office within the premises of the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, Ikorodu Campus, as an educational fortress to conduct research on Soil, Steel, Concrete, Water, Cables and Plumbing techniques.

Welcoming a delegation led by the Dean, College of Engineering LASUSTECH,  Dr. Yakubu Bankole to the Agency recently, the General Manager of LSMTL, Engr. Olayinka Abdul disclosed that for Engineering learning processes to be well established, there is a need to stimulate a research scheme which is well-rooted towards practical experiences.

She said, “This collaboration is a learning process on the job to pattern the wealth of knowledge acquisition towards development that is at par with International best practices. This impactful initiative will invoke a form of professionalism that will stimulate consistent research ideology towards a total rebranding of our processes for optimal customers’ safety in averting building collapse”. 

While deliberating on the Module of Understanding being proposed for the initiative, the General Manager informed that the Agency will commence a stringent strategy against substandard steel materials coming into Lagos State, as measures to curb episodes of building collapse across the State.

According to the Dean, College of Engineering, LASUSTECH, Dr. Yakubu Bankole Engineering should advance a synergy of experts towards a progressive Lagos State, with grassroots people accessible to resources and dividends of democracy for development. 

He averred that the trend of development across settlements requires the Government’s presence using durable infrastructures which students are being trained in maintaining through research processes and collaboration.

Still speaking, Dr. Yakubu stated that the initiative proffers first-hand information to students using the workspace environment of LSMTL as a case study, thus conducting practical engineering through such dynamism.
