Opening of the Women's and Labour Movements, Adult and Higher Education in Nigeria project

On 4 June, IFRA-Nigeria Director Barbara Morovich and IFRA-Nigeria team went to visit the Ogunsheye Foundation for the official start of the Women's and Labour Movements, Adult and Higher Education in Nigeria project. They had the opportunity to meet all the project team, including the three team leads : Dr Sara Panata (Laboratoire des Afriques dans le Monde), Dr Segun Ogunsheye (Ogunsheye Foundation) and of course Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye, the first female professor of Nigeria. 

After a visit and presentation of the two sets of archives, those of Professor Felicia Ogunsheye and of Professor Ayodele Ogunsheye, they got to observe the work of digitization of the archives. Scroll below to see some pictures of our visit.
