The University of Lagos has appointed Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, a professor of Botany, as its new vice-chancellor.
He becomes the 12th vice-chancellor of the university and will succeed Professor Rahmon Bello.
Until his appointment, he was the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academics and Research, UNILAG.
The Public Relations Officer of the school, Toyin Adebule, confirmed Ogundipe’s appointment.
“He has been appointed; he is our new VC,” he said.


Ogundipe, who is of the university’s Faculty of Science, was ranked first by the Council while the former Dean of the university’s Students’ Affairs Unit, Prof. Kayode Amund, and the former Vice-Chancellor of the Caleb University, Imota, Lagos State, Prof. Ayodeji Olukoju, came second and third respectively.
The newly appointed vice-chancellor is expected to take over from the outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rahmon Bello, whose tenure of office ends on November 10.
He is expected to resume on November 11 as the university’s 12th substantive vice-chancellor.
Ogundipe, who was appointed as professor in 2002, was also the Director of Academic Planning and a member of many scientific organisations. He is a life member of International Society of Plant Morphologist, Fellow of Cohort 9 of the Leadership for Environment and Development, and the Linnaean Society, London, among many others.
