A.        Personal
Statement

As a firm believer
in hard work as the key to success, I am a highly focused and determined
professional who understands that limits are man-made and meant to be overcome.
With over 20 years of medical practice, I have witnessed firsthand the power of
teamwork and know when to seek support as well as offer guidance to others.

My expertise
extends beyond clinical care, I have considerable proficiency in various
Microsoft Office applications and AI and remain eager to learn new technologies
that enhance productivity. I am deeply committed to evidence-based medicine,
recognizing that well-structured research, when effectively applied is a
catalyst for national development, both directly and indirectly.

My research
interests lie in Atopic and Contact Dermatitis, cutaneous malignancies,
pigmentary disorders, and aesthetic dermatology. Equally passionate about
medical education, I embrace its art and science, understanding its role in
shaping future professionals and improving healthcare standards.

Beyond my
profession, I believe my God-given purpose is to create a lasting positive ripple
effect not just as a physician or dermatologist, but as a contributor to
meaningful change. I hold steadfast to the Nigerian dream, particularly in
education and healthcare, and remain committed to reviving its potential.
Through collective and holistic efforts, I believe we can redefine our nation’s
legacy, restoring its past glory while elevating the quality of life for every
Nigerian.
