Girls' School, Benin City, and St. Peter's College, Kaduna, she studied English and French at the University of Lagos and studied at the Institut Français du Royaume-Uni in London.[1] Her work is associated with the romance genre, published in Macmillan's hugely popular Pacesetter Novels series,[2][3][4] but her heroines are said to be a bit older and more independent than normal for that form. She was the Woman Editor of the Vanguard newspaper for 30 years.[5] Ovbiagele is the mother of Bruce Ovbiagele, founder of several global neuroscience organizations and programs;[6][7][8][9][10] and Desmond Ovbiagele, screen writer, film/documentary director, and movie producer.[11][12]
