Additional quotes by Victoria Adaobi Obasi
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.
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?

I came in as Acting Vice-Chancellor and, by the grace of God, was elevated as substantive Vice-Chancellor. I would not be fair to myself if I say I have not encountered challenges. We are living in a man’s world, so, no matter how hard a woman tries to showcase herself in whatever position she occupies, it may seem as if she is not proving her mettle. I have had my ups and downs, but stood as the Rock of Gibraltar because the position I occupy is built on God.
