Over the years, women have shown that they are great leaders. Studies and experience have shown that women bring unique perspectives to leadership roles. We shall get to know some of the female Vice chancellors and the institution they are managing.
Women are constantly evolving and reaching new milestones across a wide spectrum of human activities. Women are flexible and empathetic. They are also good builders, good listeners, good communicators and emotionally intelligent.
In the world of academia, some women who have been entrusted with leading roles to manage human and material resources have more often than not, proved that given adequate backing, they can perform creditably.
In this piece, The Nation presents some of Nigeria’s most excellent amazons that are making invaluable contributions to the world of academics as female Vice-Chancellors. In no particular order, they are:
Prof. Lilian Salami, she is the vice chancellor of one of the oldest universities in Nigeria, which is UNIBEN.
Prof. Florence Obi, acting vice chancellor of university of Calabar (UNICAL).

Our amiable Vice Chancellor, Professor Stella Chiemeke of the University of Delta, Agbor is definitely going to be on the list as. She is an Ika woman from Ekwuoma in Delta State, South-south Nigeria.
However, as long as we are celebrating a woman vice chancellor because she is the first or a woman chief judge because she is the first, then we have not arrived yet. We look forward to the time when we will have many women in such positions and we will be celebrating so many of them.” — Prof Grace Alele-Williams, first female Vice Chancellor in Nigeria (UNIBEN, 1985–1991), in March 2004.
