Author:Femi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria , has asked Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun, to review the decision to rename the Tai Solarin College of Education, Abiodun had announced the decision to rename the college after Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Sunday, Falana said while the traditional ruler deserves the honour, renaming the institution amounts to denigrating the record of Tai Solarin, the late foremost educationist.“It is indisputable that the late Dr. Tai Solarin, the founder of the Mayflower School, Ikenne, contributed immensely to the educational development of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
“Surprisingly, the Dapo Abiodun administration has announced its decision to rename the College of Education after a highly respected monarch, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebu-Ode.“The decision ought to be jettisoned as the governor has not adduced any reason for denigrating the indelible record of the late foremost educationist.
“The governor does not have to assault the memory of the great Solarin in order to honour the eminent Awujale.
These people have no conscience at all. Couldn’t they look at something else, something new, at least.
No denigration here sir, there was Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) which is the upgraded college of Education. So renaming the college of education after Awujale is no Brainer.
