In 1979, Augustus Taiwo Solarin (1922-1994), known as Tai Solarin, started wearing khaki shirts and shorts to protest the number of out-of-school Nigerian children. He founded the prestigious Mayflower College in Ikenne, Ogun State, on January 27, 1956.
The Tai Solarin University of Education, Ogun State, the first university of education in Nigeria, is named after him.
