Lagos State University (LASU) has officially announced the commencement of the 2026/2027 admission exercise for Independent Indigenes through the Indigeneship Verification Exercise (IIVE).
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗜𝗩𝗘?
The Independent Indigeneship Verification Exercise (IIVE) is a mandatory screening process conducted by LASU to confirm candidates who claim Lagos State indigene status. This is important because LASU gives special admission consideration to verified indigenes.

If you or your child is claiming Lagos indigene status, or targeting competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, Law, Engineering, then proper guidance is critical.
Many candidates lose admission due to wrong documentation, poor understanding of LASU admission structure, and failure at verification stage.
