Mighty Congratulations, Dr. Jumoke Yacob-Haliso!
What a very important position for us, a milestone for you, for women, for the African woman.
It was not so long ago that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie amplified the issue when she famously advised on feminism, that we (African men too?) that "We should all be feminists!"
So, we are expecting more movements in that direction from you now that you're stationed at such a responsible position.
Over here in Sweden, "Gender Studies" is a very popular course being offered at the universities and is chosen by almost as many modern men, as modern women; I know a few men - far from being emasculated, hen-pecked husbands and boyfriends who have nevertheless become " feminists"; perhaps that's why " woman power!", the women are gradually and successfully taking over in Scandinavia even as we listen to Fela ( 29 wives) still braying "Lady nah Master". In time to come, I suppose that the African societies that are currently most firmly entrenched in strong patriarchal cultures of gender-based violence and so forth will make the necessary concessions to modernity, in the name of women's rights to an education at all levels, to equality, equal pay, "Metoo" etc.
Once again, Cheers, more grease to your elbows and in the struggle, May the Almighty be with you always!
