[2][3] Doyin Abiola was educated at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria where she earned a degree in English and Drama in 1969.
During this period, she started writing a column in the newspaper called Tiro which was addressing sundry issues of public concern, including gender matters.
In 1970, she left Daily Sketch Newspaper and traveled to the United States to pursue a master’s degree programme in Journalism.

It was, however, to be a short stay as the newly formed National Concord newspaper invited her to be its pioneer daily editor.
