TASFUED refutes false campus closure story

Tai Solarin Federal University of Education (TASFUED) issues this public notice to correct a false story on social media.

The story claims that the campus has closed because bandits invaded Ijebu-Ode. This claim is not true. The university remains open, calm and focused on teaching and learning.

Key facts at a glance

• The campus is open.
• There is no order for students to leave hostels in Ijagun or Ijebu-Ode.
• Ijebu-Ode and Ijagun are calm and safe.
• Classes and office work are running as planned.
• The story of bandits forcing a closure is false online content.

What the false TASFUED closure story claims

The false report says that TASFUED has closed the campus because of a recent bandit invasion of Ijebu-Ode.
It also suggests that students have been told to leave their hostels in Ijagun and Ijebu-Ode.

The University Management clearly states that no such order has been given. At no time has the management asked students to vacate their hostels due to any form of invasion. The story is described as false, misleading and likely made to cause fear in the university community and in the state.

Campus remains open and calm

The university is open. Lectures, tests and other academic tasks are going on as planned. Offices are open and staff members are carrying out normal duties.

The University Management repeats that Ijebu-Ode and Ijagun are peaceful areas. There is no ongoing security attack on the university. Students, staff, parents, alumni and the wider public are encouraged to stay calm and keep faith in the official message.

Safety and student welfare

Student welfare is a top priority for the University Management. Any real threat to safety would be handled with clear and timely notice through the proper channels.

At this time:

• There is no security reason to shut the campus.
• There is no safety order asking students to leave hall or hostel spaces.
• The learning space, offices and support services are all active.

Students are encouraged to attend classes, read and take part in normal campus life. Staff members are encouraged to keep doing their lawful duties as usual.

Official TASFUED communication channels

For correct updates on any matter that concerns the university, the public should rely only on official communication channels managed by TASFUED.

These may include:

• Notices signed by the University Management.
• Announcements on official online platforms run by the university.
• Printed notices placed at known points on campus.

Students and staff are encouraged to look out for these formal messages rather than relying on screenshots or quoted posts with no clear source.
