I would like to express my pride of belonging to the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Environmental Science, University of Lagos. It is taught in a few in a few and highly elitist universities in Nigeria, hence the need to meet universal standards to master the requisite skills of architectural design.  Since its foundation, the department saves no effort in developing its programme that would fit into the needs of the society and the developments of the course and knowledge in the world. We are confident that we are going ahead in adopting a learning environment capable of preparing and qualifying graduates that are able to face challenges innovatively and creatively.
