Fagbohun, who was appointed as the 8th substantive VC of the institution is a Professor of Environmental Law. Before his appointment, he was the Director of Research at the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of Lagos

He was born on October 19, 1966 and hails from Akesan in the Alimosho local government area of the state. He joined the institution’s Faculty of Law as an Assistant Lecturer in January 1991. He rose through the ranks and by the year 2004, he was appointed Associate Professor.

Professor Fagbohun studied Law at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University). He obtained his Master’s of Law Degree at the University of Lagos and attended the Obafemi Awolowo University for his doctoral degree programme.

At different times, he served as a member of Senate of the Lagos State University; Head of Department of Business Law and later Department of Private and Property Law; Coordinator, Law Centre; Coordinator of the Department of Environmental Law and Allied Disciplines of the Centre for Environment and Science Education of the Lagos State University, and was, for several years, the Editor-in-Chief of the LASU Law Journal.

Professor Fagbohun is a member of several academic and professional bodies, and a fellow of a number of national and international institutions.

Meanwhile, the state government also appointed a former Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru to head the Board of Trustees for the N25billion State Employment Trust Fund (ETF).

In a statement issued by the chief press secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, it was said that the state government also appointed nine other people to serve as members of the Board of Trustees of the ETF.
