Nigeria Union Of Teachers (nut) Protest Downgrading Of Tai Solarin University by mukina2: 12:54pm On Feb 27, 2012
Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has kicked against the decision of the Ogun State Government withdrawing the status of the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) as a university, saying the act is a disaster for teacher training in Nigeria.

The Ogun State government had recently announced after one of its executive meetings, the withdrawal of the status of TASUED and making it an institute of education under the Olabisi Onabanjo University.

President of NUT, Comrade Michael Alogba Olukoya, in an interview with newsmen said the idea was ill conceived and will reverse the gains made in the production of well- equipped teachers for schools in the country.

“The university, in our opinion is a university designed to train qualified personnel and professionals to service the manpower demands of our nation’s education sector and teaching profession. The university remains the symbol of professional veneration for teachers and education practitioners, the first of its kind.

“Such noble project should not be sacrificed on the altar of partisan politics. We therefore call on the Ogun State Government to reconsider its decision which is already causing anxiety among the students population,” Olukoya said.

He said that the NUT remains solidly behind the institution, while calling on all “well meaning Nigerians to intervene and use all legal means to air their disapproval to this obnoxious government policy.”

NUT just made a nice statement, i wonder how a government wiil just wake up one morning and decides to scrap a full-fledged university, not even a mere uni but uni of education. A school that d whole nation looks up to 4 d improvement and standardization of our educational section.
I wonder what d minister of education was doing concernin dis issue. I think d school should be owned and managed by d federal govt because its d 1st of its kinds(just like U.I).

I disagree with NUT on this issue. I believe the Ogun state govt made the right decision. i prefer less but highly efficient and well funded schools to multitude of schools that are useless.

Exactly!!! If the government is trying and sincerely looking to create a quality and efficient university in the state that will be properly managed, then why not?

sincerely any body supporting the ogun state govt for scrapping TASUED should rethink and obviously doesn't knw anything about the Nig edu. Sector,
Take for instance, as a teacher recruitment agent, everyday i have 10s of mails and calls from proprietors seeking teachers for vacant post and am way behind target cos no one wants to teach, if you're supporting the ogun govt then read my book, I HATE MY JOB:the irony of the teacher, how many youths in nairaland wants to be teachers?, a country where education is not even encouraged, if u then scrap its only uni of edu and turn it to a mere faculty of a school with highly inconsistent carlender, then ibikunle amosu and it advisory team are leftbrain.
Pls for the first time lets support the NUT to kick against this visionless out of touch leaders and demoralizing policies for the sake of my unborn children,so that there will be teachers in the classroom to teacher them, atleast NUT is not fighting for salary increment
