Outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, Prof. Lillian Salami, highlighted inadequate funding, lack of personnel, and frequent strikes as major challenges facing the institution. She also praised the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a promising initiative to provide financial support to students without means, aiming for greater equity in education. During a thanksgiving and book presentation marking the end of her five-year tenure, Salami expressed pride in her efforts to improve the university, hoping it would continue to grow. In her memoir, she compared managing the university’s students to handling a chaotic motor park with unruly youths.
