This is to inform all members (both staff and scholars) of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, that the institution invites them to participate in the contest of anthem submission.

Introduction
The University of Lagos was established by an act of the Federal Parliament in April 1962. Fifty-five years after, the University continues to fulfill the vision of the founders of this great Institution.

It is common practice in institutions of higher learning to have an anthem depicting their mission and vision as well as core values. The Management of the University of Lagos hereby invites gifted and competent members of the University community (students and staff) and alumni to submit suitable lyrics – with or without music – from which the best will be selected to become a worthy anthem for the University.

Competition Guidelines

The anthem should:

  • Not be more than three stanzas;
  • Reflect creatively the mission, vision and core values of the University;
  • Depict the status of the University as “the University of First Choice and the Nation’s Pride”;
  • Resonate its slogan of “Great Akokites”;
  • Crystallize the philosophy of the University of Lagos;
  • Be free of any religious traces or overtones either in sound or meaning; and
  • If by music, the rendition should be artistically appealing and backed up with appropriate rhythm and orchestration.
