The Directorate of Guidance, Counselling and Career Development of Lagos State University of Education came into existence in July, 2023 after two Colleges of Education in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education and Michael Otedola College of Primary Education) were transmuted into a University of Education. Before this period, the two Colleges of Education had been providing guidance and counseling, referral, information/appraisal and orientation services as well as organization of seminars, conferences and workshops for students. Staff members have also benefitted from the counseling services and provision of career and educational information provided by the two legacy colleges’ counseling services. These have had tremendous effects on both staffers and students. Below is a brief summary of the history of the two legacy Colleges of Education
