The first female Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Prof Adenike Oladiji, has assumed office.

Oladiji was appointed a professor in 2011 after joining the services of the University of Ilorin in 1992. She is a Biochemist.

According to Vanguard, the University’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Ambassador Godknows lgali, described the process of her appointment as methodical, thorough and transparent.

Igali, while explaining the selection process, said, “Council shortlisted 20 candidates out of the 29 that applied for the position of the vice-chancellor in line with the stated criteria.

“The selection criteria were also strictly followed by the Selection Board to arrive at the three candidates based strictly on merit.

“It is indeed a well-deserved appointment. In a sector mainly dominated by the male folks, it is highly commendable that you could prove your mettle and emerge at the top.

“You, therefore, need to hit the ground running and work assiduously to not only sustain, but improve upon the current rating of the university. You need to provide exemplary leadership and bring harmony among the various sectors of the university

“You will have to surpass the achievements of your predecessors in terms of academic and infrastructural development. You must be able to bring your managerial abilities to the fore to harness available resources to achieve breakthroughs for the university on all fronts.”

Igali added, “One question of great concern is the importance of according top most priority to welfare of members of the university community. The saying goes ’an incentivised worker is a productive worker,’ and vice versa.

He urged her “to join the pantheon of great women administrators in the tertiary education system in Nigeria, which started with the late Prof. Grace Alele-Williams in 1985 and is today kept alive by your colleagues in the University of Benin, University of Calabar, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Lagos State University, Adamawa State University and even in private universities such as Michael and Cecelia Ibru University, Chrisland University and Afe Babalola University.

Responding in her inaugural address, Oladiji, who described her appointment as divine, promised to “ensure that the gains of FUTA in the past years are sustained, improved upon, and evolve strategies to secure the future”.
