President Bola Tinubu has approved the conversion of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ijagun, Ogun State, into a federal university, making it the first federally owned tertiary institution in the Ogun East senatorial district.

The announcement was made in a press release on Sunday, signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser 001 Release Date - Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low Black Dark Marina Blue - Air Jordan 5 Year of the Snake HF3183 to the President on Information and Strategy.

Established by the Ogun State Government in 2005, TASUED is Nigeria’s first specialised university of education.

Tinubu expressed gratitude to the Ogun State Government for allowing the Federal Government to take over the institution, saying, “It is an opportunity for the Federal Government to honour Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who began the revolutionary free education programme in Western Nigeria, and Dr Tai Solarin, who spent most of his life educating our children and instilling patriotic and leadership lessons in them nike revolution 7 at Mayflower 42 Iconic Bob Dylan Photos – Celebrating Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize in Literature School in Ikenne.”

The President also acknowledged the role of the Awujale of Ijebuland in preventing the university’s closure in 2012, just seven years after its establishment.

The transition requires minimal federal investment due to TASUED’s well-developed infrastructure and academic programmes.

According to the statement, “With this adoption, the Federal Government now oversees three universities of education: TASUED, Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education in Owerri, and Adeyemi Federal University of Education in Ondo.”
