The Triune Biblical University Global Extension USA that has made its presence felt in a number of States in America, Europe and some Countries in Africa has extended its instructional content interest to Nigeria through the Lagos State University, LASU, and specifically the Centre for General Nigerian Studies of the University.

Our Human Capital and Teaching-Learning infrastructure stand us out in the competitive Knowledge Industry,”.
