Women's and Labour Movements, Adult and Higher Education in Nigeria

This project will digitize the rich archival materials kept in the Ogunsheye Foundation, located in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria. Together Nigerian co-founders Professor Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye (née Banjo) and late Professor Ayodele Ogunsheye, established the foundation in the 1990s. This project will focus on two distinct collections in the archive: the personal papers of Professor FA Ogunsheye, activist for women’s rights in different women’s movements, educationist and first female Professor in Nigeria and those of her late husband Professor Ayodele Ogunsheye, labor union activist, educationist for adult education, professor of Economics and businessman.
