A message from the Vice Chancellor
University of Lagos is a leading institution dedicated to quality teaching, learning, research and community service. We have over the past few years developed leaders in many disciplines through our various programmes. As the University of First Choice and the Nation's Pride, we place great premium on the development and welfare of our staff and students both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Since its establishment in 1962, the institution has continued to play a key role in nation building by molding the teeming youth population through its teaching, research and community services.
As the melting pot of the society, we strongly believe in diversity and, therefore, provide an atmosphere for an all-inclusive Campus. As a result, we attract quality staff and students who are able to compete at the highest level locally, regionally and globally. This is evident in the over 200,000 highly skilled and knowledgeable graduates we have produced as professionals contributing their quota in their respective endeavours.

As a microbiology student fascinated by the unseen world of microbes, I was drawn to Unilag GreenHub to broaden my horizon about the environment. I'm grateful I was able to do just that and also be part of the positive change in the environment. This has really showed me the direct connection between environmental efforts and the health of the microbial communities all of which affect our health directly and indirectly. It's not just about cleaning our environment, it's about protecting the invisible world of microbes that sustains us. Together, we can make a real difference for our planet, one microbe at a time.
