Vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos, Professor Folashade Ogunsola has said that the weak Naira led to a mass exodus of lecturers from the country. 

Speaking at a media parley, Professor Ogunsola said the education sector suffered from the country’s dwindling economy in 2023, leaving the sector bereft of young tutors.

She said; 

“For the education sector, 2023 was a tough time in many respects. The state of the country was not favourable to the academics. The exchange rate made our poor salaries even poorer, and so, from the point of view of the education sector, it was a time when people left in droves. It was a tsunami of exit.

“Many academics, especially our younger lecturers, left the system. Many of the people who didn’t leave are doing it out of patriotism, not for lack of where to go.”

She stressed that the administration was determined to ensure that the university could grow and deliver on its mandate of teaching, research and service through the future-ready agenda encapsulated by the four pillars of growth: Growing the Finance, Growing the Infrastructure, Growing the Reputation and Growing the Manpower (FIRM).

Prof Ogunsola noted that various faculties of the institution had been recognised for research studies and attracted over N11bn research grants in the last year.
