TASUED Becomes First Ogun East Federal University
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The Federal Government has adopted the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ijagun, Ogun State as a Federal University.

As a federal institution, TASUED will be the first federally owned tertiary school in Ogun East senatorial district.

President Tinubu approved the adoption on Friday and thanked the Ogun State Government for inviting the Federal

Government to take over the school, one of the state’s best educational assets.

This was contained in a statement released by the Presidency on Sunday.

“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

impacting patriotic and leadership lessons in them at Mayflower School in Ikenne”, Tinubu was quoted to have said.

“It is also in honour of the Awujale of Ijebuland, who played a critical role in preventing the university’s closure in 2012, just seven years after its establishment,” he added.

President Tinubu emphasized that TASUED’s transition into a Federal University of Education is a strategic step in the

Federal Government’s commitment to bolster teacher education and enhance the quality of instruction across all educational levels.

With a well-developed infrastructure and academic programme, the transition requires minimal federal investment.

Established by the Ogun State Government in 2005, TASUED holds the distinguished position as Nigeria’s first

specialised university of education.

It was named after Dr Tai Solarin, a revered activist and the founder of Mayflower School in Ikenne. As a federal

institution, TASUED will be the first federally owned tertiary school in Ogun East senatorial district.

Awolowo and Solarin were celebrated figures from the Eastern Senatorial District of Ogun State, encompassing Ijebu

and Remo.

With TASUED’s new status, the Federal Government oversees three education universities. Alvan Ikoku Federal

University of Education in Owerri and Adeyemi Federal University of Education in Ondo are the country’s other two

universities of education.
