The criticisms, which labeled TSU a "glorified secondary school" and accused it of producing "half-baked graduates," were met with a strong response from TSU graduates. They argued that knowledge acquisition is an individual endeavor and that the university one graduates from does not solely define a person's potential.

To counter the criticisms, TSU alumni pointed to notable graduates who have excelled in their fields, including:

- Tordue Simon Targema, who progressed from TSU to the University of Glasgow, UK

- Boniface Christopher, who became Director General Worldwide at SBBC Foundation

- Dr. Destiny Akpuke, who is now Head of Department in Cyprus

- Abubakar Bashiru, who works in a multi-million dollar company's Spy Office

- Emmanuel Emhole, a Mo Ibrahim Foundation scholar at a UK university

TSU alumni posed questions to the critics, challenging them to provide evidence for their claims and to highlight their own contributions to society.
