TASUED described the programme as a landmark moment that will further project the university on the global academic map.

Oluremi Tinubu and the Values TASUED Represents

Oluremi Tinubu embodies the ideals of discipline, service, and intellectual development that TASUED seeks to instill in its students. The Vice-Chancellor noted during a press briefing that the public life of First Lady demonstrates a rare dedication to nation building.

He explained that the university views First Lady as a strategic partner in the quest to reform Nigeria’s education system.
First Lady has over the years sponsored programmes aimed at improving the welfare of teachers and vulnerable children.
