Victor O. Ukpolo was born in Lagos, Nigeria in the year 1950. He migrated to the United States at the age of 23 as a student to study at the University of Maryland at College Park from which he received his bachelor's degree. He moved on to the American University where he received his master's degree and Ph.D in philosophy with which he steadily
climbed through various assignments and challenges to the chancellorship at Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO). He is thought to be the first native-born Nigerian to head a university in the United States.

He also served as a professor and administrator at several institutions including California State University, in Los Angeles, and Austin Peay State University, in Tennessee.
