The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has congratulated Maureen Okam Achebe and Sandie Okoro on their outstanding achievements in their fields of study.
Remember when on July 9, Brigham and Women’s Hospital presented Maureen Achebe, the renowned novelist Chinua Achebe’s daughter, with the 2024 Faculty Development and Diversity Award?
In a similar vein, Sandie Okoro became the first female chancellor when she was named the University of Birmingham’s new chancellor on July 10.

“These exceptional personalities have continued to rise above their challenges and achieve greatness in different fields of endeavour.
“I would firstly love to celebrate a Nigerian-British lawyer, Sandie Okoro, who has just been appointed the New Chancellor of the University of Birmingham, and the first-ever woman to hold the admirable position.
“She has, before now, held many highly placed positions, where she has continued to fight against injustice and promote equality in society.”
