Dr Tayo George is an associate professor and the first female Head of the Sociology Department, Covenant University. She tells BLESSING ENENAITE about her career and other issuesI am an Associate Professor of Sociology at Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State. I specialise in Gender and Development Studies. I am from Emure Ekiti in Ekiti State. I had my secondary education at Federal Government Girls’ College, Abuloma, Port Harcourt, where I was the Head Girl of the 1989/1990 set.
Upon completion of my second degree, I got a job with the United Bank for Africa Plc. At UBA, I rose to the position of Senior Banking Officer and resigned after eight years to pursue my career in academics at Covenant University. I have been researching, teaching and mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students since I joined the University on February 1, 2006.Studying Sociology in the university was a coincidence. Law was actually my first choice.
Also, I started a welfare unit to provide support in various forms in the department. Last year, as instructed by God, I started a monthly prayer meeting and departmental fellowship in the department.I am very passionate about research and scholarly publications that target gender, women and development studies. Verified scholarly data attest to the feminisation of poverty, and the fact that globally, women constitute about half of the world’s population, including Nigeria.
A wise person once said, ‘If you think education is expensive, try ignorance’. In a country where prices of goods and services have skyrocketed, there is a high inflationary trend. That dovetails into other sectors, including education. No price is too much to pay for quality education because it is one vital tool that transforms societies to bring about needed development.
Small money wey God give Una...una wan dey suffer people 🙄🙄
But y'all got free education from the colonial church?

As long as educational reforms doesn't favour the creek child, the structure will continue to have issues. Can't you see that enough more is spent already! It is not about money! It is about a one sided educational benefits.

You are absolutely right. When there's no money to achieve quality and sound education. What will you do?.
As no price is also too much for quality healthcare services
