A Fellow of the Institute for Corporate Administration , Lawson is Proprietor and Chief Executive Officer of The Christhill Schools, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos. Be that as it may, let me say that it is a rare privilege if you are talking about the first woman to be in the position because probably sometime a woman would be there. That’s where I’m going to come in, being the first now is what appears to be significant.
Are you saying there was no gender consideration in your emergence because we are in an era of feminism? You have held top leadership positions in the past. How have you been able to cope with men who feel uncomfortable having a woman as their head? There is a system of appraisal in Lagos State Civil Service. Regularly, we had people from monitoring and investigation from the Inspectorate who came to the school to see what we were doing. They checked your records, which were there for them to see. Who is doing what? They checked how diligent you were at your work. You didn’t have to lobby for it. There was no day anybody came to supervise or inspect our school that I was found wanting. Everything I needed to do was on point.
What advice will you have for upcoming ladies pursuing their careers in different fields given what you have seen and achieved so far? My husband knew from day one that all he can do for me is to support anything I want to do. He knows that I will not deviate. That thing, I will do it; I will pursue it. All along he knows the kind of woman I am and that the only thing he can do for me is to support my dreams. And I can never see any man in this world again that can ever do what this man has done for me. He will be the one to provide when I need some finance or whatever.
