Women are making strides in ICT. What're they contributing? How rough, tough or enjoyable has the path been for women in ICT? Mrs. Funmilola Omojola, ICT Coordinator and Resource Personnel of Grace School in Lagos, Nigeria shares her unique experiences with Jidaw.com in this interview.
Mrs Omojola is a contributor that has no respect for status quo. Interestingly she is a highly regarded and active member of the Jidaw Alumni Association. She represented the alumni during the W.TEC Girls Tech Camp.
According to her "Unfortunately, women are seen as weak and incapable. But this is a BIG LIE. Experience has shown that there is really nothing any man can do that women cannot do including ICT."
Here are some questions and answers in the Interview with Mrs. Funmilola Omojola - IT Professional, Woman in ICT
1: Please let us meet you. Let's know more about you.
Answer: My names are Omojola Oluwafunmilola Victoria (Mrs); I graduated with upper credit in Computer Science from Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin. I also have a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) from the University of Calabar. On the personal side, I am married to Omojola Adebayo Ojo. I am the first child and the only female child in our family of six from a clergy parent. I have three kids - the first is ten years old boy, about to enter secondary school and the other two are girls they are six and two years old respectively. I am from Ilesha in Osun State, Nigeria.
2: When did you first become interested in computers? What spurred your interest in Information Technology? Have you always been interested in ICT?
Answer: My interest in computer science was stimulated when I was seeking for admission into the university. Initially I was seeking admission into (University of Ife) now Obafemi Awolowo University as a medical Student. But that did not materialise. However, I wrote the admission examination into Kwara State Polytechnic and was successful. I immediately went in for Computer Science. Since then I have embraced and fallen in love with Computer Science.
Computing comes to me naturally as I have always seen myself as an articulate person with a high sense of reasoning, even while in school. Primarily, my interest in becoming a computer professional is due to my fascination with the analytical and logical nature of computer systems.
