This was my dream school in the year 2017. Even after I passed the cut off mark and all criteria, o was still denied admission. I really wanted that school though, but it's all in the past now though.
You can still do you masters there bro, nothing is lost
If at all I'm gonna do masters, it'll be outside the country
You really outlined the major areas of the campus in photos. They are beautiful pictures, even though some of the buildings may be old but your camera really makes them beautiful.
Nice, I've never really been into the University of Lagos (unilag) before, so this totally helped. All nice pictures and good photography.
Awwwn thanks bro... Thanks for viewing
That's a nice write up about the university of Lagos accompanied with good pictures. I really love them. Kudos!
I've been to the university for up to 5 times and it seems good for Nigerian students. With great structures, classroom & labs.
Nice photos, I'll be visiting there sooner after the pandemic
