Ogun State leaders praised the national government for bringing Tai Solarin University of Education under federal control. Governor Dapo Abiodun spoke through his advisor, Kayode Akinmade, about the positive changes this move brings to the school. He talked about how hard his team worked for years to help TASUED grow stronger. The governor remains deeply committed to making education better across the state.
President Bola Tinubu signed papers Friday making TASUED officially part of the federal system after Ogun State asked for this change. The school stands as the first special teaching university in Nigeria. Tinubu mentioned that this decision honors Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Tai Solarin, who helped build Nigerian education. He thanked the Awujale of Ijebuland, who stepped in in 2012 when the school almost closed down.
The school should see more money, better buildings, and higher standing nationwide because of this change. This boosts Ogun State's reputation as a place where great schools thrive. TASUED becomes just the third teaching university at the federal level, joining Alvan Ikoku and Adeyemi institutions. The federal takeover matches President Tinubu's plans to create more skilled teachers and raise learning standards everywhere.
The government recently added seven new teaching universities to those already running. These include the Federal University of Education in Kano, another in Zaria, Kaduna State, plus Adeyemi in Ondo State. More teaching schools opened at Alvan Ikoku in Owerri, Imo State, another in Pankshin, Plateau State, and the Federal University of Education in Kontagora, Niger State. All these schools focus on training better teachers for Nigerian classrooms.
