    President Bola Tinubu has approved the adoption of the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ijagun, Ogun State, as a federal university. This move marks a major milestone in the institution’s history, which was established by the Ogun State Government in 2005.

    As Nigeria’s first specialized university of education, TASUED has been renamed after the renowned educator and activist, Dr. Tai Solarin. With its transition to a federal institution, it becomes the first federally owned tertiary school in Ogun East senatorial district.
    President Tinubu commended the Ogun State Government for inviting the Federal Government to take over the institution, describing the move as a tribute to key figures in Nigeria’s educational history.
    “It is an opportunity for the Federal Government to honour Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who pioneered free education in Western Nigeria, and Dr. Tai Solarin, who dedicated his life to shaping young minds,” Tinubu stated.
    The President also acknowledged the role of the Awujale of Ijebuland in preventing the university’s closure in 2012. With TASUED’s new status, the Federal Government now oversees seven education universities across the country.
    This development is seen as a strategic step in the Federal Government’s commitment to bolster teacher education and enhance the quality of instruction across all educational levels.
