"Before she took over as the vice-chancellor, it was either one problem of students' riot to staff protests, but she has demonstrated uncommon courage, fearlessness, prudence and accountability in managing the university's fund and brought in so much peace and stability," Oshiomole said.

Comparing her performance to her predecessors', the governor lauded Agbebaku for succeeding where men failed.
