The Acting Head, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations of the institution, Adekoya Martins, , made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Monday .
LASU had on September 30 announced that 24, 734 certificates belonging to those who graduated from the school in the last 10 years, remained uncollected.
The institution had warned that any graduate who failed to collect the certificate before October 21 will pay N15,000 as fine before collection.
Martins revealed that the extension was approved due to the impressive compliance of graduates thus far.
According to him, the initial N15,000 fine is to ensure that the graduates come forward to collect the backlog of certificates lying at the registry.
He noted that most of the uncollected certificates are not for recent graduates of two to three years ago, adding that those who failed to collect ”are mostly those who graduated 10 years and above ago’’.
He further said that LASU, would henceforth, send a message to graduates as soon as their certificates are ready.
