The speaker, the first female vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), reflects on her background and current role. Her appointment as UNILAG’s vice-chancellor brings a sense of honor and urgency, particularly given the long history without a female leader. She views her role as pivotal during a time of crisis and change in the educational sector, driven by broader national and global shifts. Her vision for the university focuses on four key areas: finance, infrastructure, reputation, and manpower. She emphasizes the need for substantial investment in faculty and staff to address their demoralization and improve the university’s overall performance.
