Reading the Earth.
Building its future.
The Geosciences Students' Society is the official student body of the Department of Geosciences, University of Lagos. We connect students to the field, the industry and each other, from 100 Level to final year.
A society built on rock-solid foundations
We represent every student of the Department of Geosciences. Our job is simple: make your time here richer than the syllabus. That means field exposure, industry access, competitions, welfare, and a community that has your back.
Welcome to GeoNova. This session, we are focused on putting tools in your hands, opening industry doors, and keeping our department's winning culture alive. Walk with us.
