ABEOKUTA  — Tai Solarin College of Education,  Omu Ijebu has threatened to drag the management of Tai Solarin University of Education,  Ijagun, Ijebu Ode to court for allegedly usurping and confiscating their assets.

TASCE, an NCE awarding institution, was  founded in 1978 and   was elevated as Tai Solarin  University of Education,  TASUED, in  March  2005 by the immediate past governor of the state,  Otunba  Gbenga  Daniel who ordered its relocation  to Omu.
Addressing newsmen in Abeokuta, yesterday, Chairman of Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union,  COEASU, Omu Ijebu, Mr. Dan Oludipe said,  “TASUED cannot continue  to use the name ‘Tai Solarin,’ since the TASUED’s foundation,  TASCE,  had been been removed in October 2008.”

He said: “If we are not answered by them, we have to go to court. We have enough evidence to show that Tai Solarin College of Education owns Ijagun. The government came up with another thing and they called it TASUED without repealing the one, TASCE,  transformed to university.”
