No, I didn’t remarry. Before he died, I had retired from the university and was in Abeokuta as Chairman of Ogun State Teaching Service Commission and… - Adetoun Ogunsheye

I obtained BSc and MSc degrees in Geography from Cambridge, before attending Simmons College in America, for a master’s degree in Library Science.

I couldn’t study medicine because Queen’s College didn’t offer sciences in those days.But there was an interesting issue before going to Yaba Higher College. After finishing from Queen’s College, my father went to my principal and asked him if I could take exam to go to Yaba Higher College. It was an all-male institution then. But the principal told my father they would not take me because I was a female and it was all-male institution. But my father disagreed with him, arguing that there was nothing in the instrument setting up that school that forbade women from attending it. So, I took the entrance examination, passed and was admitted. I was the only female student in the first year.

Yes, it is true. There is no doubt about it because I made the first professorship and I sat on the Senate for the appointment of subsequent professors. The first two professors came from Ibadan and I was the first female professor in Nigeria in any discipline at all. I got it in Library Studies.
