​Lagos stood still on Sunday, September 20, 2026, as Regal Hall in Oregun, Ikeja, transformed into a sanctuary of divine encounters for Praise Affair with Tosin Bee: The Thanksgiving.  Draped in rich royal purple and gold aesthetics, the night delivered a seamless fusion of refined worship, cutting-edge production, and infectious high praise.   ​For the celebrated Afro-gospel and highlife minister, songwriter, and music director, the evening was more than a performance it was a triumphant return to headline billing.  Tosin Bee’s last major concert was Switch with Tosin Bee at the MUSON Centre in September 2019.  Though he kept audiences global…

Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello left office this month as the ninth substantive Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), closing a five-year tenure that began in September 2021.

By the end of her term, all of LASU’s 80 to 81 programmes had reportedly achieved full accreditation, alongside three new faculties, two new schools and 20 additional courses. That expansion pulled in applicants. Annual…
