Research

The University of Lagos is a centre for academic research. The University in 2005 rewarded 19 of its researchers for their outstanding research efforts in the 2005 Research Conference and Fair. This included ground breaking research in the child psychology behind bed wetting. The University research activity was one of the major criteria used by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in adjudging the University as the Best University in Nigeria at this year's Nigerian University System Annual Merit Award (NUSAMA).

Name change

On 29 May 2012 the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, renamed the University of Lagos; he changed the name to Moshood Abiola University in honor of Moshood Abiola, who died in jail as a political prisoner in 1998. The name change has been the subject of protests from students and alumni.[1][2][3]
