Amosun FCA,the Executive governor of Ogun State, on the giant strides
he has taken since his assumption of office to rebuild Ogun State
under the five cardinal point agenda and the manifesto of the Action
Congress of Nigeria.
(b) On the recent efforts of the state government to restructure the
two state universities, Olabisi Onabanjo University, (OOU), Ago Iwoye
and Tai Solarin University of Education, (TASUED),Ijagun and other
tertiary institutions in the state, the meeting called for great
caution and patience in resolving the resultant and ominous problems
and dangers government policy and pronouncements seemed to have
created in academic communities in particular and among the citizenry
of the state in general.
(c) The meeting appreciated, welcomed and endorsed the steps taken by
the National University Commission (NUC) in taking over the
administration of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) until
the issues are resolved.
(d) The meeting commended Senator Sefiu Adegbenga Kaka, Senator
representing the constituency in the National Assembly for his timely
intervention in order to give our state government and party breathing
space to search for a more acceptable and equitable solution to the
present logjam in the education sector.
(e) The meeting believes in expansion of the scope and scale of
education and hence does not support the scrapping or merging of the
tertiary institutions in the State. Consequently, all tertiary
institutions in Ogun State at present should be allowed to exist
independently.

constitute a PARTY CAUCUS comprising the leadership of;
1- The Party
2- The State Government
3-The State House of Assembly and

to consider anew, the entire proposals and policy thrusts on the
future of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, the Tai
Solarin University of Education, (TASUED), Ijagun and other tertiary
institutions in the state in the best interests of ALL the citizens of
the state.

party’s CONSULTATIVE FORUM, so as to move forward the functions and
