He noted that the ceremony was another stamp of accomplishment and unbridled qualitative education service delivery since the establishment of institution, he said “It gladdens my heart to note that you have relentlessly worked hard to sustain yourself in the midst of great number of higher institutions in Ogun State.” According to him, TASUED has proved to be a great citadel of learning where academic excellence and good moral training are impacted on the students. “It is gratifying to note that in less than 10 years of being a full-fledged university, Tai Solarin University of Education has become one of Nigeria’s best universities, consistently among universities at the top of the Nigerian university League. “Also, it has continued to be a pace setter and trail blazer in the provision of qualified teaching corps. This Institution has not disappointed in its mandate of producing successful graduates that have carved a niche for themselves in their different endeavours and continued to contribute their quota to the socio- economic development of our great nation,” he said. The governor charged the graduates not to see their certificates as mere meal ticket but rather develop their intellect and horizon as well as equip themselves with the knowledge and skills to appropriate abundant opportunities that abound in the nation. Re-stating his administration’s commitment to making education more affordable, he said, “our administration reduced school fees in all the ten state-owned higher institutions of learning by as high as 60 percent in some cases. The goal of this policy is to make education more affordable to more people and create a relief for all parents.” Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof.(Mrs.) Oluyemi Obilade, while noting that the institution is the first University of Education in Nigeria, second in Africa and eight in the world, said it has been established on solid principles and platforms which characterized Tai Solarin, the late renowned educationist, who the school is named after.
