A TASUEDite Writes An Open Letter to TASUED Management Over 2nd Semester Resumption Date Moradeyo Ifedayo Johnson is a 300level Student’s of Tai Solarin University of Education and he’s also a member of Tai Solarin University of Education Students’ Union (TASUEDSU) he’s a Senator also doubles as Chairman, In House Academics, Welfare Committee and Audit Committee
Sen. Moradeyo popularly known as JIMCRUZ express his opinions thus: “I am particularly concerned the postponement is unforeseen and causing everyone pains, consciously or unconsciously.
I wish to state very reasonably that the University management has earlier released Monday 17th February, 2020 as resumption date for Second semester 2020/21 academic session.
It should be noted that examination for 100level students has been postponed to that same Wednesday 19th February, 2020.While this development is regretted, it should be noted that first semester examinations can not be holding when we have resumed for second semester.
I wish to call the attention of the University authority and leadership of the Union to this undeniable fact, and reasons why resumption for second semester should be extended.
Thus, I believe this will also enable students to take some rest and have time to prepare for the next face of academic semester(no matter how little).
While students await an apology, this should be strongly considered in the interest of the students”.
In the celebration of the eight years Remembrance of Fashina Olatunji David (Humble-TeeJay) organize by the Tai Solarin University of Education Students’ Union (TASUEDSU); TASUEDFinest Team had an online interview session with one of the Humble TJ family, who’s the convener of Humble TJ Foundation:
Can We Meet You?
Thank you, I’m Fashina Olanrewaju Micheal, For the purpose of this Interview, I’m the immediate younger brother of the late Fashina Olatunji David, populary known as HumbleTeejay who lost his life in the 2012 scrapping Saga
TF: You’re welcome! Now, it’s Eight years your dear brother, Fashina Olatunji David ‘Humble TJ (TASUED-HERO) lost his precious life for the existence of the premier university of education in Nigeria. What has being the family reaction to the death of promising Humble-TJ after 8years?
Hmm, Eight years is a very long time in a calendar year but for us as a family, it’s just like yesterday. He’s such a promising lad and no one can ever forget. No one!
TF: What can you say the Ogun state government or TASUED management have done to Humble TJ family after his painful exist?
It’s no more a news that I was awarded a Scholarship by the TASUED management (renewed each year based on performance )for 3 years during my undergraduate days. We have had to live with the pain of his death after then.
TF: Aside the scholarship any other benefits from TASUED? And Is there nothing from the Ogun state government?
No benefits from TASUED management aside the scholarship.
From the state government, Some few weeks after his demise the family was compensated with with the sum of One million Naira
The yearly remembrance of Fashina Olatunji David (Humble- TJ) by TASUEDSU in conjunction with the school management is an idea of who
It was the idea of The then Students Union president Comrade Adeniyi Oluwafemi and his led team. More importantly, I am aware of the input of Former colleagues of HumbleTeejay and past Cadres.
What is your family view on the yearly remembrance of Humble TJ by TASUEDSU?
During the early years of the remembrance day ,The students union occasionally pays the family a courtesy visit and I always imagine the kind of Joy derived from such act by my parents. They cherished every moment spent by the union members . Well that’s a thing of the past now!
Are you insinuating that the TASUEDSU doesn’t pay Courtesy visit to Fashina Olatunji David (Humble TJ) family any longer ?
New leadership, new vision. I believe the Recent Students Union has redefined it. I’m aware of visits to special homes and Orphanages. It’s a good call and I support such too, because that’s what He stood for. More reason, we launched a platform (Humble Teejay foundation) two years ago to promote his virtues even after death.
Aside the yearly remembrance by TASUEDSU, is there any other things/project in his memory?
Yes ,in a bid to sustain his legacy ,We launched a foundation named after his Nick, Humble Teejay foundation. This Foundation for the past two years has been committed to humanitarian services and Community development
TF: Humble TJ foundation? Can you tell us one of the major achievement of this foundation ever since?
Thou, we have not had it all rosy due to paucity of funds and lack of sponsorship but in its first year we were able to organize a Mini Christmas party for needy children in Lagos state and also we were part of the sponsors of an annual wheelchair basketball competition in Lagos.
Anything you feel the TASUEDSU should ADD or REMOVE from the yearly REMEMBRANCE of Fashina Olatunji David (Humble TJ)?
It will be difficult to say ,but wherever our advise or experience is needed, the family will always be in the Gap.
Finally, any advise for the TASUEDSU and TASUEDITES at large?
I will urge TASUEDSU and TASUEDITES to uphold the tenets which the union and the institution was founded upon. They should strive to become good ambassadors of the school.
TF. Thanks for you time, May the Soul of Fashina Olatunji David (Humble TeeJay) Continue to REST IN PEACE!

Avalanche of crises plaguing University education in the country has been attributed to lack of autonomy and insufficient academic freedom prevalent in Nigeria’s educational sector.
This was the submission of Prof. Kayode Olu Ijaduola during the 6th Inaugural Lecture of the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State titled :
EDUCATION AND POLICY AT LOGGERHEADS: WHO IS TO BLAME?
The Professor of Educational Planning & Policy posited that until both the government and institutions mutually complement each other, thereby, jointly working on policies formulation coupled with quality implementation which is geared towards attaining global excellence in our ivory towers, noting that failure to achieve this, will make the standard of education in the country a mirage. He also noted that Universities should be left to pursue teaching, research as well as cross-fertilisation of ideas.
Prof. Ijaduola also blamed the government for the rot being experienced in the education sector, warning that the use of quota system for educational placement had outlived its usefulness, which he added, fuells the ember of ethnic and tribal differences, as opposed to the unity it sought to achieved.
The inaugural lecturer also took a swipe at policy makers for making teacher education a 4-year programme at the University level, therefore, suggested that the duration of the course should be made a 5-year programme so that a year can be devoted exclusively for teaching practice exercise, so as to make student teachers be well grounded in teaching and pedagogy. This proposal, he further noted, will make education graduates be at par with other professionals, thereby, earning them the required respect among their peers.
He also lent his voice to the call for graduates of Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) desirous of University education to be placed in 300 level.
The University don also linked the spate of mushroom Universities to political consideration, noting that most institutions have become glorified secondary schools which is as a result of poor government funding.
To circumvent these challenges, Prof. Ijaduola stated that selection of Vice Chancellors should be devoid of politicisation while teachers and lecturers should be well remunerated so as to be encouraged into the teaching profession.

One of the Scripture goes thus, “By their fruits you shall know them”; this passage goes to the Tai Solarin University of Education Students’ Union (TASUEDSU) Aspirants for 2020/2021 General Election.
It’s obvious that some of these aspirants are lackadaisical, imagine an aspirant’s defacing people properties for his/her selfish political ambition.
However, the 2017 TASUEDSU Constitution As Amended, (Section 144(K) Stated, “Any Candidate Whose Poster or Awareness is Found on the School Property; eg. Wall or Any Other Property Shall Stand Disqualified from Contesting.
“Can’t you stop this superannuated campaign style of defacing people properties in this digital era? Your campaign strategy should be digitalized but I don’t blame you because you practice politics not unionism.
Moreover, those that suppose to uphold the rule of law are the ones involve in breaching the TASUEDSU Constitution as Amended 2016/17 Section 114 (L), “Any Candidate Found Before the Lifting of Ban Disclosing His/Her Post or Displaying His/Her Photograph Shall Stand Disqualified From Contesting”.
For how long are we going to continue like this? Nevertheless, the anonymous electoral commission (ITEC) that will conduct the forthcoming 2020/2021 TASUEDSU General Election will be made of cabals.
Who will save TASUEDites from these caucus race?…. Kindly Drop Your Comment(s)…
