BREAKING: #UNILAG Elects First Female VC, Prof Folasade Ogunsola—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Prof Folasade Ogunsola, a Professor of Microbiology at the College of Medicine, has emerged the first female Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos (UNILAG).
This Online Platform gathered that Ogunsola is the first female VC of UNILAG in 60 years.
The development meant that Ogunsola, who is expected to take over from the outgoing VC, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe, next month, would be the first female to occupy the position in the 60-year-old institution.
Ogunsola, the daughter of the late eminent geographer, Prof. Akin Mabogunje, has served the university in various capacities.
She was at a time the Provost of the College of Medicine in Idi Araba, Lagos and also served as a deputy vice chancellor to Ogundipe.
During the crisis that engulfed the institution about two years ago, when Ogundipe was removed from office by the then Governing Council led by Dr Wale Babalakin, SAN, she served as the acting VC for about three months before the Federal Government reinstated Ogundipe.
He gave the assurance that the new person would be chosen through a credible and transparent manner and prayed that God would give the university a person that would also raise the bar of standard in the school.
