Established on 29 January 2005, TASUED is widely recognised as Nigeria’s first specialised University of Education and one of the leading teacher-training institutions in Africa.

History of the Institution

Tai Solarin University of Education was established in 2005 as a transformation of the former Tai Solarin College of Education. It was named after Dr. Tai Solarin, the renowned Nigerian educationist, activist, and founder of Mayflower School.

The institution became notable as the first university of education in Nigeria dedicated mainly to teacher education and educational development. Over the years, TASUED expanded into science, management, technology, arts, agriculture, and postgraduate studies while retaining its education-focused mission.

In March 2025, the Federal Government approved the takeover/adoption of TASUED, marking a major transition in its ownership and future development.
