Which one is several years ago? For her public profile, her age need not be censored.

The O P should tell us more as Lagosians because he said ' the husband is a two-term Commissioner', really?
Congratulations.We wish her well in her new promotions.

..and you think others in the race didn't lobby University VC na school prefect position

VC's position goes through different stages of screening...before shortlisted candidates are forwarded to The President if it is a Federal University or The Governor, for state university.

.anyone shortlisted merited the position..and lobbying at that stage is allowed...afterall, it's a political appointment

This is a skewed question....If 4 contestants are presented to a State Government as qualified candidates....The Governor has a perogative to chose any of them.

That's where lobbying comes into play...if indigenes play it better...so be it...That's politics

Her road to Professorship is too smooth. She spent just 2 years as an associate prof? Should we say she is lucky or ....... ? She became a Deputy V.C a year after she became a full professor. She is damn lucky. Congrats

1. She is
2. She might of worked for it as well
3. Some people jump straight to Professorship without going thru Phd if there research is that deep and they meet the criteria (Prof. Osinbajo)
4. I don't think there's a stipulated time from move from Dr. to Prof. It depends on the individual's ability to meet the required yardstick
5. Late Prof. Abisogun Leigh became DVC ~9months after becoming a Prof; became acting VC when Akesode died and later became substantive VC.... some are just favoured

Thank God Lagos is not a sharia state, someone would have told her that she has mental deficiency for being a woman and claim it’s a divine instruction because someone said so 1400 years ago.


Prof. Ruqayyah Ahmed Rufa'i is from Jigawa State, she was promoted professor in 2003. She was the best performing Minister of Education since our return to Democracy. She champion the establishment of 12 FG Universities across the nation. She is Muslim Northerner from Jigawa State. There are dozens of women Professors in the North, then what are u trying to say?
The Quran commands all Muslims to exert effort in the pursuit of knowledge, irrespective of their biological sex. Muḥammad encouraged education for both males and females: he declared that seeking knowledge was a religious duty binding upon every Muslim man and woman. Like her male counterpart, each woman is under a moral and religious obligation to seek knowledge, develop her intellect, broaden her outlook, cultivate her talents and then utilise her potential to the benefit of her soul and her society.
Additionally, the wives of Muḥammad – particularly Aisha – also taught both women and men; many of Muḥammad's companions and followers learned the Quran, ḥadīth and Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) from Aisha. Undoubtedly, there is no discrepancy in Islam between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah in concerning as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct. Allah says:

“And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women.” (Q2: 228). The holy Quran, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression “believing men and women” to accentuate the equality of both male and female in regard to their particular duties, rights, virtues and merits while in Christianity “Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.” “Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.” However, in modern day Christianity women are sex objects, are used for
