Folasade Tolulope Ogunsola (born 1958) is a Nigerian professor of medical microbiology. She specializes in disease control, particularly HIV/AIDS. Ogunsola is also the immediate past provost of College of Medicine, University of Lagos and is reputed as being the first woman to occupy the position. She doubled as the Deputy Vice Chancellor (development services) of the institution starting 2017.[1][2] She was elected as the Acting Vice chancellor of University of Lagos on August 24, 2020 by the university's senate.[3]

Early life and education

Ogunsola was raised in University of Ibadan where her father lectured.[4]As a child, Ogunsola mimicked medical practitioners by using dolls as patients, while offering medical care to them. Between 1974–82, Ogunsola obtained her first degree from University of Ife.[5] She got a master's degree from College of Medicine, University of Lagos, then proceeded for her doctorate at University of Wales between 1992–97.[6]

Career

Ogunsola is currently the acting vice chancellor of the University of Lagos. She previously was the institution's deputy vice chancellor.[7] Prior to this, she was the provost of College of Medicine, University of Lagos. Her research areas have been centered on the regulation and management of viral diseases, particularly HIV. She is the principal investigator at AIDS Prevention Initiative in Nigeria (APIN) at University of Lagos. She has also been the chairman of Infection Control Committee of Lagos University Teaching Hospital. Additionally, she is the chairman of the National Association of Colleges of Medicine in Nigeria.[8]

In 2018, she expressed concern on disease prevention and control in Nigeria. She identified poor hygiene and overuse of antibiotics as practices that foster antimicrobial-drug resistance. Providing a solution, she maintained that "sustained Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) infrastructure and programs should be built around a set of core components which includes guidelines, training, surveillance, multimodal strategies for implementing IPC, monitoring and evaluation among others".[9] Speaking during a session with the media, she explained that the solution to reducing the 58% unemployment rate was for Nigerian graduates to begin innovating ideas that will enhance human life. She also noted that knowledge in itself isn't sufficient, but its application in an appropriate manner to better mankind and enhance livelihood of others is what youths should be concerned about.[10]

She was a founding member of the Nigerian Society for Infection control in 1998 and is also a member of the Global Infection Prevention and control Network.[11]

She was elected as the Acting Vice chancellor of University of Lagos on August 24, 2020 by the university's senate following a crisis between the Pro-Chancellor, Mr. Wale Babalakin and the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe. She became the first woman to be Vice-Chancellor in the University's history.[3]
