More quotes by Florence Obi

We need to begin to talk to our children about equity from home; if we do that, our children will grow up with it and affect the society positively.

We create the bias from the cradle when we begin to tell our children the chores that are meant for boys and those that are for girls.

As the first female vice-chancellor of the university, it comes with a lot of responsibility and expectations. Many people want to see what a female vice-chancellor can do. There are also high expectations from people who think the university is too complex for a woman to run.

The VC is also responsible for administrative action and is the chief financial officer of the university. When things go wrong financially, the VC is held responsible. Those are the tripartite responsibilities of a vice-chancellor.

I think one of the greatest achievements I would like to be associated with is the peace, unity, oneness and purpose on campus. I derive joy from the fact that people are working in a cordial environment and anybody can have access to the vice-chancellor.
