“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 at Mayflower School,” Tinubu stated.

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

The President emphasized that the decision recognizes TASUED’s crucial role in teacher education and serves as a tribute to the contributions of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Tai Solarin to Nigeria’s educational development.

He also acknowledged the intervention of the Awujale of Ijebuland, whose efforts were instrumental in preventing the university’s closure in 2012.

The transition is expected to attract increased funding, enhance infrastructure development, and elevate TASUED’s national recognition,further solidifying Ogun State’s status as a hub for academic excellence in Nigeria.

The adoption also aligns with the Federal Government’s vision to strengthen teacher training and improve educational standards nationwide as part of President Tinubu’s intense commitment to advancing Nigeria Human Capital development and increasing the quality of education which depends on several factors, including deepening high quality Teacher training.
