The
management of the Tai Solarin University of Education Ijagun, Ogun State, says
it will confer an honorary doctoral degree of Political Science on former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The
Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Oluyemisi Obilade, made this known when
members of the university’s Governing Council visited the former President in
Abeokuta on Sunday.
According
to Obildae, the award is to thank the former president under whose tenure the
university was licensed in 2005.
Obilade
added that the offer was a unanimous decision of members of the council who
acted on the recommendation of the Senate of the university.
Accepting
the honour, Obasanjo said, “TASUED has a glorious history of existence and I am
happy to associate with the university. I almost took a decision that I would
not accept doctoral degrees from any university, but if I can take honorary
degrees from universities in Moscow and Beijing, then I can’t resist that of
TASUED.”
