From the Secretariat

I joined MANSAG in 2000 as a trainee doctor and served as Assistant Secretary of the West Midlands Chapter between 2005 and 2009. MANSAG has a strong knowledge network of highly competent, skilled and experienced Nigerian doctors from varied specialties of medicine. I am proud to be associated with MANSAG and am keen that MANSAG remain active in capacity building within Nigeria and other African nations, transferring knowledge and skill. Consequently I am active in the association’s voluntary medical mission work and in the engagement, development and mentoring of UK based Nigerian trainees. I obtained my first medical degree in 1988 and have been working within the NHS since 1993
