AmosunThe Ogun State Government, South West Nigeria may have rescinded its earlier decision on scrapping the state owned Tai Solarin University of Education located at Ijagun area of Ijebu Ode.

The State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, said that the institution has come to stay.

He was speaking during the 3rd, 4th and 5th convocation ceremonies of the university, held at the university campus in Ijagun.

The Governor seized the opportunity provided by the occasion to appeal to the institution lecturers to show more understanding, especially in the face of the dwindling revenue from the Federal Government, which he said has put more states under financial tight corners.

While seeking more support and understanding from staff and management of the institution, Governor Amosun also announced automatic employment for first class graduating students of the institution.

The institution’s Vice Chancellor, Prof Oluyemisi Obilade, during her speech urged the graduating students to continue to be good ambassadors of the institution and use the knowledge and experience gained to better the society and Nigeria at large.

Highpoint of the occasion was the award of honorary doctorate degree to some prominent Nigerians which included the Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona and the wife of the immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Kayode Fayemi, Mrs Bisi Fayemi, for their contribution to their communities and humanity in general.

About 11,000 graduands found worthy both in learning and character were turned out at the convocation ceremonies.

The Tai Solarin University of Education was established in 2005.
