    Kwara-based doctor bags five awards, makes history in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

    The medical community in Nigeria is celebrating Dr. Mariam Shiru-Yinusa, who has not only emerged as one of the brightest minds in Obstetrics and Gynaecology but also made history as the first female President-elect of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH).

    Shiru-Yinusa, who hails from the Eletu family in Ilorin, graduated in 2014 as the overall best student in her MBBS class at the University of Ilorin. Her academic journey was decorated with multiple distinctions, including Best Graduating Student in Surgery and Neuropsychiatry, as well as a University Scholar award. 

    “Excellence has always been my driving force, not just for myself but for the women and children whose lives I hope to impact through medicine,” she said.

    Her dedication to improving maternal and child health pushed her into specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Over the years, she has become a strong advocate for reducing maternal and infant mortality caused by preventable complications. She is also a member of the Preterm Birth International Collaborative (PREBIC), where she contributes to global research on preterm birth prevention.

    Shiru-Yinusa’s brilliance has not gone unnoticed. In 2021, she was named Best Candidate in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at both the national level and the West African College of Surgeons membership examination. 

    Most recently, she swept five major national awards in the Fellowship Examination of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria.

    The awards included the Prof. V. E. Egwuatu Prize for Best Candidate in the Part II Oral Examination, the Prof. Linus Ajabor Prize for Best Overall Candidate in the FMCOG exam, and the Rivers State Government Award for Best Candidate, among others. “These awards are not just personal victories; they represent the progress Nigerian women are making in breaking barriers in medicine,” Dr. Shiru-Yinusa told Nigerian Tribune.

    Colleagues and professional bodies have lauded her achievements. In a congratulatory message, Dr. Adeosun Sunday Isaac, General Secretary of ARD UITH, described her success as “a beacon of possibility, showing that leadership and scholarship can truly thrive side by side.” He added that her groundbreaking feat has uplifted the image of UITH on the national stage.

    Beyond her academic brilliance, Dr. Shiru-Yinusa is celebrated for her leadership. As the first female President of ARD UITH, she is remembered for her advocacy on the welfare of resident doctors and her contributions to key hospital committees. Her leadership, colleagues say, was marked by poise, competence, and a vision for equity.

    For many young female doctors, she has become a role model. “Dr. Shiru-Yinusa’s story shows us that we can be leaders and still excel academically,” said a resident doctor at UITH. “She inspires us to aim higher and never see our gender as a limitation.”

    Looking ahead, Dr. Shiru-Yinusa has expressed her commitment to combining clinical practice with impactful research. “My goal is to continue contributing to solutions that save lives, especially in maternal and infant health, because every life counts,” she said.

    Her journey from Ilorin to national recognition underscores the power of resilience, hard work, and a clear vision. In her words, “Medicine is not just a profession for me, it is a calling to serve humanity.”

    U.S. expresses pride partnering Nigeria to empower next generation leaders

    The United States says the Nigerian hustling spirit has seen them excel in all fields of endeavour.

    This, according to the US, has made it leave its doors ajar for young  Nigerians who desire to study in any of its educational institutions.

    Public Diplomacy Officer at the US Embassy,   Brian Neubert, said  this   at the 2025 Education USA Fair in Abuja yesterday.

    The Education Fair, themed “Empowering Future, Discover American Excellence in Education and Innovation,” is aimed at providing necessary information about universities in the US.  

    Neubert  said the US  was proud of ‘’partnering Nigeria to empower next generation leaders, Innovators and change makers.’’

    His words: “We know that Nigerians hustle. The courses of study that are most interesting to Nigerian students are often Engineering, Business, Law and Medicine. Many thousands of these students graduate, and then they come back and build this country.”

    Underscoring the numerous opportunities available for Nigerian students in US universities, Neubert said the  US Embassy was excited about the growing interest in EducationUSA services across Nigeria.

    Neubert said, “We’ve seen it for decades. It’s really extraordinary. There are exceptional education systems and schools in Nigeria, including up to the university level.

    “What we have seen over the decades is that many thousands of Nigerians take advantage of overseas opportunities.

    ‘’They come back and work in academia, they come back and work as journalists in the media, they certainly come back and work in business.”

    On scholarships, Neubert pointed out that exceptional students can access various opportunities.

    “There are opportunities for scholarships. Exceptional students get to have scholarships. There are a variety of options for scholarships, and international students, students from Nigeria, enrich the experience for the entire community on campus,” he said.

    Neubert also addressed concerns about the cost of studying in the US, explaining that the Embassy provides resources to help students make informed decisions about financing their education.

    “We’re providing resources so that students can make their own decisions of where they want to study and how they want to finance that study,” he explained.

    Neubert noted the long tradition of Nigerian students excelling in US institutions and making significant contributions to their communities and the world.

  • Sacked student slams N1.1b suit against NIPSS

    Sacked student slams N1.1b suit against NIPSS

    A member of the Senior Executive Course (SEC) 47 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), whose membership was withdrawn by the institute, has sued for N1.1billion.

    The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1329/2025, was filed by Yushau Shuaib, the founder of a media group, PRNigeria, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

    In the suit filed by his lawyer, Yunus Abdulsalam (SAN), Shuaibu is, among others, demanding ₦1 billion in general, special, and aggravated damages against NIPSS over alleged emotional trauma and reputational damage.

    He is also seeking an additional ₦100 million as litigation costs, having issued a pre-action notice on June 16, 2025, to the Institute’s Director General, Professor Ayo Omotayo, which was allegedly ignored by the management.

    The plaintiff wants an order setting aside his withdrawal from SEC 47 and reinstating him with full rights, benefits, and privileges.

    Shuaib is also asking for a perpetual injunction restraining NIPSS, its agents, or officials from further harassment, intimidation, or cyberbullying.

    In his originating summons, the plaintiff raised eight issues for determination. He argued that the publication of a news article by PRNigeria, an independent media organisation, cannot lawfully be attributed to him as misconduct when he neither authored nor endorsed it.

    He also questioned whether NIPSS’s alleged access and use of his private email without consent violated his constitutional right to privacy under Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

    Shuaib further contended that disciplinary action against him for professional opinions expressed in a published article breached his right to freedom of expression guaranteed by Section 39(1).

    He argued that barring participants from interacting with him and removing him from official platforms amounted to harassment, cyberbullying, and forced isolation.

    He maintained that denying him participation in the international study tour, despite his full payment of ₦18.3 million course fees, constituted discrimination and breach of contract.

    He also faulted his suspension and withdrawal from the course based on alleged “externalisation of the subject” without a fair hearing, describing it as a violation of his constitutional right under Section 36(1).

    Shuaib is therefore seeking declarations that the actions of NIPSS were unlawful, unjustifiable, discriminatory, and unsupported by any regulation guiding the institute.

    In a 40-paragraph affidavit, Shuaib stated that he was nominated by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) to represent it at the course, a nomination approved by the President of Nigeria.

    He attached his admission letter, proof of payment of ₦18.3 million, and evidence of compliance with NIPSS requirements, including handing over responsibilities at his company, Image Merchants Promotion Limited, publishers of PRNigeria.

    He alleged that despite complying with institutional rules, he was subjected to harassment, intimidation, and arbitrary disciplinary actions.

    According to him, on March 24, he received a query over a PRNigeria article titled “NIPSS Goes Digital; Launches Paperless Platform after Submitting Landmark Report to President Tinubu.”

    Shuaib insisted he neither authored nor edited the article, which other media outlets had widely reported.

    He further alleged that on April 25, NIPSS again queried him about an internal email concerning an editorial, “Understanding the ‘Blue’ in the Blue Economy.”

    He stated the article was a professional reflection containing no sensitive information, yet NIPSS intercepted it before it could be published.

    Shuaib claimed that the queries were unfounded and not supported by the NIPSS Code of Conduct. He further alleged that his withdrawal letter dated June 2, 2025, was curiously addressed only to NIPR without being officially served on him.

    The plaintiff is asking the court to reinstate him into SEC 47 with full privileges, to declare that NIPSS has no authority to penalise him for content published by an independent platform, to hold that accessing his private emails violated his constitutional rights, and to declare his withdrawal unlawful, unjustifiable, and discriminatory.

    Top FCTA official enrolls two sons in public school

    Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Mandate Secretary for Education, Dr Danlami Hayyo on Friday enrolled two of his sons, Ahmad and Mukhtar in Government Science Secondary School, Pyakasa, Maitama in Abuja.

    The children who are 14-year-old each were attended to by the admission officers of the school with others that came for enrollment for the 2025/2026 academic session.

    Speaking after the exercise, Hayyo said the step was to restore confidence of Abuja residents in public schools, considering the huge resources expanded on rehabilitation and construction of schools across the territory by the minister, Nyesom Wike.

    He explained that the enrollment will clear the negative perceptions that senior government officials in the Education Sector, or politicians in general, do not patronize Public Schools.

    According to him, the construction and rehabilitation of FCT Schools by the Minister have restored confidence in the sector.

    Principal of the school, Mallam Isah Usman commended the Minister for his intervention in the school.

    He said with the standards recorded in the school many senior government officials and military officers have enrolled their children in the school.

    Usman said; “We are overwhelmed that many senior officers and military personnel are now bringing their children to the school. We also deeply appreciate the Minister for completing most of our infrastructure, the multi-purpose laboratory, the dining hall, and other facilities that speak for themselves”.

  • Ikosi pupils get bags, books as Lions Club marks World Literacy Day

    Ikosi pupils get bags, books as Lions Club marks World Literacy Day

    Lions International, through its Lagos New Emerald Lions Club, District 404B2 Nigeria, on Friday donated school bags, books and other learning materials to pupils of Ikosi Nursery and Primary School, Ketu, Lagos, to mark this year’s International Literacy Day.

    The intervention, carried out in conjunction with Lagos British Lions Club and Lagos Indiana Lions Club, turned the school premises into a scene of excitement as children gleefully lined up to receive the items. Their cheers filled the air as the head teacher led them in call-and-response chants to celebrate the moment.

    President of Lagos New Emerald Lions Club, Lion Kadiri Olaide Bilkis, NLCF, said the project was inspired by a passion to meet the needs of children in public schools where basic materials are lacking.

    “Most of these pupils carry their books in polythene bags. When we visited this school two years ago, we saw their needs and promised to return. September 8 is International Literacy Day, and with the resumption of school, we are here to fulfil that promise,” she said.

    She added the donation was only one of many initiatives the club has lined up.

    “By next month we will hold our Mental Health and Wellbeing Day at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Home, Yaba, Lagos. In November, we will host the Peace Poster Contest in Ikeja and by December we will visit either a motherless babies’ home or a blind school for our hunger relief project. We have a calendar of service for the entire year,” she said.

    The Head Teacher of Ikosi Nursery and Primary School, Mrs Akin Ojo T. A., lauded the gesture, saying it would boost pupils’ morale and encourage school attendance.

    “What Lions Club has done today is to encourage our pupils to learn more and to be regular in school. Even this morning, a new pupil who came with her mother to make enquiries about admission told her mother she did not want to go home after seeing the distribution of bags and books. She wanted to be part of it. That shows the power of this kind of support,” she said.

    She appealed for more intervention from public-spirited organisations, stressing that supporting public schools was key to reducing the number of out-of-school children and ensuring a brighter future for young learners.

    Other teachers who spoke also thanked the Lions Club and called on corporate bodies and individuals to emulate the gesture.

    “Some of our classrooms have leaking roofs, and during this rainy season it is affecting the children’s studies. Some classes do not have enough tables and chairs. We need help,” they appealed.

    Service Chairperson of the club, Lion Ayodele Raymond, said the objectives of the project were to enhance the learning experience of pupils, encourage regular attendance and reaffirm the club’s commitment to community service.

    For the children of Ikosi Nursery and Primary School, the day was one to remember: a day when joy came in the form of new school bags, writing materials and renewed hope for a better learning environment.

    In the spirit of World Literacy Day, the Lions Club reminded the community that education remains the surest tool for lifting children out of poverty and opening doors of opportunity.

    By putting books and bags in the hands of eager pupils, the club underscored the global call to leave no child behind in the pursuit of knowledge.
