Anambra woman, Martina Chukwuma-Ezike has been elected by students as Rector of the University of Aberdeen, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.

She becomes the first woman of colour and the first Nigerian to be elected Rector of the university, an ancient position that dates back to the foundation of the University in 1495.

She is also a graduate of the University of Aberdeen, having completed her MBA in 2009, and has a longstanding relationship with the student body, offering mentoring, volunteering, and work placement opportunities at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, enabling medical students to gain experience by working directly with asthmatics.
