The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has commended Dr Philip Ozuah, a Nigerian doctor based in New York, United States, for his very generous donation of one million US Dollars to the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan hostel project.


Dabiri-Erewa, who put a personal call through to Dr Ozuah to appreciate his kind gesture, said the Commission is proud of him and his other colleagues who continuously give back to their country.





In an appreciative message by the Head of Media of the Commission, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the NIDCOM boss encouraged other Nigerians in the diaspora to emulate Dr Ozuah and remember to give back, thus contributing to national development.



“ I have just spoken to Dr Ozuah and he confirmed his donation. I join others to appreciate him for giving back to his alma mater and encourage others to emulate such generous gestures.”, Dabiri-Erewa said.
Dr Phillip Ozuah, a US based physician and alumnus of UI College of Medicine during a zoom fund raising single handedly donated $1,000,000 (One Million US Dollars only) to the Alumni Hostel Project.
It was a joyous mood at the Board Room of the College of Medicine University of Ibadan, on Monday August 1, when the Keynote Speaker and Fund raiser Dr Philip O. Ozuah, a 1980 Alumnus announced his donation of One Million US Dollars.
Ozuah, a Professor of Pediatrics, President and Chief Executive Officer of Montefiore Medicine, USA, gave the donation to serve as a catalyst for the construction of an ultra- modern Student Hostel estimated to cost about Two Billion and Five Hundred Million Naira. He joined other Alumni and Friends of the College of Medicine, who also made their own contributions.

The Anambra-born Ozuah earned his medical degree from the University of Ibadan and had his internship at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Nsukka.

He then left Nigeria for a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Southern California, and a PhD in Educational Leadership and Administration from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

He completed his Pediatric Internship and Residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore, and his Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern California School of Medicine

The money will never be put into use, it will be embezzled, he could have use the money to procure state of the earth gadgets and equipments for the teaching hospital, build a beautiful hostel or an iconic lecture theater for the medical students., but the man try no be small, kudos to him.

But the state he came from same as Peter Obi didn't provide him good medical college
Perhaps if Nigeria Govt didn't offer him the condusive medical college, his dream could have faded off
Just like Peter Obi did when he was Gov in Anambra when he sent Medical Doctors on 13 months strike to kill their dream

[quote author=PandoraObi post=115465851][/quote]The same Abike Dabiri announced this donation in my hearing.

Could you please write Abike Dabiri to instruct UI medical College provost to reject the gift since it is from a people stereotyped for drug peddling by this APC government. UNN wil be a better alternative.

He did his internship in UNN, Enugu. You were not born by then to know Nigerians in the era were more united than what APC has made you believe today.

I am old enough to be your uncle. You have shifted your goal post again to UNN. Both UI and UNN , which of them is a state sponsored institution? Always searching for soft landing
The Dr gave back to institution/ country that made him, here you are, trying to be clever by half

When are we going to see our Yoruba brothers donating this kind of sums to institutions in the East? Why is it only the Igbo that is busy doing this kind of stuff across the country?

Oh, I was expecting Abike Dabiri to say "an Igbo Doctor", but they put it as an American based Nigerian Doctor. Shame on them, whe kissn it is bad news, it will be "all these Igbo dis and date".

I am proud of Dr Ozua and I encourage more Igbos to do same. Let's teach them what it means to evolve above the pettiness of tribalism.
