The names of the vice-chancellor and the registrar of the University of Lagos in 1985 are currently unavailable to the DIRB; however, the following information on the vice-chancellor and the registrar of the university in 1991 and 1993 may be useful. The vice-chancellor of the university in 1991 was Professor N.O. Alao and the registrar was Dr. A.A. Omotoso (The World of Learning 1991 1991, 1009). These same individuals occupied the same positions in 1993 (The World of Learning 1993 1993, 1070-71). The academic year for the university begins in October and ends in June (Ibid.).

According to a professor of African Politics at the University of Texas in Houston, the undergraduate degree in political science offered by the University of Lagos is a "Bachelor of Science" (23 Aug. 1993). The source states that since the degree documents are not issued to students on the day of graduation, testimonials signed by the registrar are initially issued to students. The degree itself is signed by the vice-chancellor and the registrar (Ibid.).

The same source states that the coat of arms of the University of Lagos consists of two circles within a circle. The top circle contains a rising sun with five rays around it, the middle section displays an open book, and the bottom section contains three dashes. The colour of the coat of arms is blue (Ibid.).

Additional and/or corroborative information on the requested subject could not be found among the sources currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa.
