Speaking very frankly, Obasanjo insisted:
"If University education was not for development then, it was not serving any useful purpose, insisting that "It must be for development, personal, local, national and even global and that is very important."
The former President who spoke at the 10th anniversary and 6th and 7th convocation ceremonies of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
