The Federal Government has adopted the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ijagun, Ogun State as a Federal University.
This was contained in a statement released by the Presidency on Sunday.
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.
He emphasised that TASUED’s transition into a Federal University of Education was a strategic step to bolster teacher education and improve 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 the nation’s first specialised university of education.
