About

I am a physician with a background in primary health care. I earned my medical degree from the School of Medicine, University of Benin, a premier university in Nigeria. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Public Health at the University of North Florida with a focus on Social and Health Behavior. As emphasis shifts from curative medicine to preventive medicine in the 21st Century, I aspire to play an important role in disease prevention and health promotion among populations, saving lives-millions at a time.
