The Ogun State Government has commended the Federal Government for its decision to adopt the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) as a federal institution.<\/p>\n
The state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, said that the move by the Federal Government will bring positive transformation to the specialized institution.
\nHe highlighted the Ogun State Government\u2019s sustained efforts in ensuring TASUED\u2019s sustainability and growth.
\nGovernor Abiodun reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to educational advancement, emphasizing that TASUED will continue to serve as a centre of excellence in teacher education.
\nThe Federal Government had officially adopted TASUED as a Federal University, marking a significant milestone for Nigeria\u2019s first specialized university of education.
\nPresident Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved the transition on Friday, following an invitation from the Ogun State Government.
\nThe President emphasized that the decision recognizes TASUED\u2019s crucial role in teacher education and serves as a tribute to the contributions of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Tai Solarin to Nigeria\u2019s educational development.
\nHe also acknowledged the intervention of the Awujale of Ijebuland, whose efforts were instrumental in preventing the university\u2019s closure in 2012.
\nThe transition is expected to attract increased funding, enhance infrastructure development, and elevate TASUED\u2019s national recognition, further solidifying Ogun State\u2019s status as a hub for academic excellence in Nigeria.
\nWith this transition, TASUED joins Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education and Adeyemi Federal University of Education as one of only three universities of education in the country.
\nThe adoption also aligns with the Federal Government\u2019s 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.
\nThe adoption of TASUED now brings to seven, the number of new Universities of Education that the Federal Government has added in the last few years to the previously existing ones.
\nThese Universities are: Federal University of Education, Kano, Kano State, Federal University of Education, Zaria, Kaduna State, Adeyemi University of Education, Ondo, Ondo State, Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri, Imo State, Federal University of Education, Pankshin, Plateau State and the Federal University of Education, Kontagora, Niger State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
