The development means Ogunsola, who is expected to take over from the outgoing VC, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe, next month, would be the 13th substantive Vice Chancellor of the University in the 60-year-old institution.
Ogunsola, the daughter of the late eminent geographer, Prof. Akin Mabogunje, has served the university in various capacities.
