The Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Distinguished Professor Ibilola Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, has congratulated a recent graduate of the university’s Faculty of Law, David Akinwunmi, on securing a scholarship and tuition support to pursue graduate studies at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Akinwunmi received the offer just months after completing his Bachelor of Laws degree at LASU and has already commenced his programme in Canada.
He was awarded the Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarship and the Law Foundation Scholarship, with a combined value of approximately CAD $45,000 over two years.
Reacting to the achievement, Olatunji-Bello said, “On behalf of the entire LASU community, I congratulate David on this well-deserved recognition. His journey from our Faculty of Law to a fully funded graduate programme abroad is a testament to the quality of legal education our University provides, and to the discipline and diligence of our students.”
“We are proud to count him among our graduates, and we wholeheartedly wish him a fruitful and impactful period of study,” the Vice-Chancellor added.
At the University of Victoria, Akinwunmi’s research will comparatively examine Nigeria’s and Canada’s tax laws and tax administration, with particular attention to how Canada has incorporated Indigenous tax principles into its fiscal system.

His research will also explore lessons Nigeria could draw from Canada as the country continues its ongoing tax reform process, particularly on how administrative approaches that are culturally familiar and acceptable to citizens could improve voluntary tax compliance.
The Vice-Chancellor noted that Akinwunmi’s achievement adds to the growing number of LASU graduates making an impact internationally.
Olatunji-Bello reaffirmed the university’s commitment to producing graduates equipped to contribute meaningfully to scholarship and public life both in Nigeria and internationally.
