Late Obiora who studied at the Edo College in Benin City in today’s Edo State on a scholarship and at Government College, Owerri, Imo State was also on a scholarship on account of his superior intellect.

He was an outstanding student at the medical school of the University of Ibadan from where he graduated in 1964. His record at the Royal College of Surgeons in Scotland was no less impressive.

He rose rapidly to the position of Senior Lecturer at the College of Medicine, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH.

May his soul rest in peace.

I learned the hospital is not as efficient as it is of old. Those managing it should please think of the dreams of the founding fathers above money making.
