The Federal Government has officially taken over Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), elevating it to the status of a federal university.
This transformation positions TASUED as one of the three dedicated universities of education in the country.
This is contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday by Mrs Boriowo Folasade,
Director, Press and Public Relations in the ministry.
