LASU Alumni Hhonours LASUTH Medical Team, Outstanding Achievers March 31

Posted on: Mon 14-03-2016

The Lagos State University (LASU) Alumni Association is to honour the medical team of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), which performed the first successful kidney transplant by all-Nigerian professionals last November, with a dinner on March 31.

Announcing this in a statement jointly signed by the president, Major-General Cecil Esekhaigbe (retd) and the secretary, Mr Wale Anthony, the association said some graduates of the institution who had distinguished themselves in various fields would also be honoured at the dinner, scheduled to hold at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja.

According to the association, the feat achieved by the LASUTH medical team, led by a Consultant Nephrologist, Dr Jacob Awobusuyi, deserved to be celebrated, given that it signalled the beginning of the end of an era whereby medical professionals who are nationals of other countries had to be flown in to collaborate with Nigerians to carry out such transplants.

Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole; Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode; his wife, Bolanle; as well as the state deputy governor, Dr Idiat Adebule, are expected as special guests at the dinner, which will also be graced by the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun.

The pioneer vice chancellor of LASU, Professor Folabi Olumide, is the chairman of the event.
