Additional quotes by Victoria Adaobi Obasi

I will continue to tell my colleagues that the welfare of the staff has something to do with their output. If a staff is satisfied, he produces more. In Nigeria, you have seen people work hard for months, they are owed salaries, they are owed promotional arrears, they are not given what is due to them, that is not the best.

Am I not a professor? I earned a PhD but there are professors who did not earn a PhD. I am stepping on toes. I am a woman and this is the first time a woman will act as VC. I understand that some people are not happy. I was mile ahead of my colleagues in the interview. Is it my fault that I am sound and that I am appreciated?

Convocation has not been held in IMSU for nine years but I graduated 54,000 students last year. Arrears and promotion have not been attended to since 2016. I changed all that. I am stepping on toes and this is understandable. Why didn’t they say that I am corrupt? Why did not they say that I have been helping myself with the university’s fund? I travel with my own money when it is for personal matters.
