Prestigious Wonder Women Award Goes to UNILAG VC
As of now, there is no publicly available information indicating that Professor Folasade Ogunsola, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), has received the Guardian’s Wonder Women Award. However, she has been recognized with several prestigious awards in recent times.
In April 2025, Professor Ogunsola was honored with the 2024 Leadership Tribute Colloquium Award by the Centre for Values in Leadership. This accolade acknowledged her significant contributions to tertiary education in Nigeria.
Additionally, in June 2024, she was appointed as the Matron of the Nigerian Girl Guides Association, a role that underscores her commitment to empowering women and girls.
Professor Ogunsola’s tenure as UNILAG’s first female Vice-Chancellor has been marked by numerous achievements, including the establishment of the MED-AFRICA GMP Laboratory—the first of its kind in West Africa—and the launch of the Africa Centre of Excellence for Drug Research, Herbal Medicine Development, and Regulatory Science .
