Beautiful piece of work!! But you forgot to include this little bit of information - The Chief Executive Officer/ Founder, Tristate Heart and Vascular Centre, Professor Kamal Adeleke said it hurts anytime he hears of people dying of CVDs or seeing people with stroke when a place such as this exists.

“Tristate has world standard in terms of latest technology and qualified expertise, and it can compete with hospitals in the United States (U.S), all our machines and equipments are world class. Since its commissioning in 2014, Tristate has conducted 75 open heart surgeries and has recorded 98 percent success, 70 percent of which where children.”



Oh I forgot to add - Professor Kamal Adeleke has beautiful tribal marks by the way. They suit him, and add to his distinctive looks! He is such an inspiring gentleman!

Nigerian cardiologists record breakthrough in heart surgery

Cardiovascular care and training recorded a major feat in Nigeria as two Consultant Cardiologists who have been training as Interventional Cardiologist at Tristate Heart and Vascular Centre, Babcock University Teaching Hospital, made history when they solely performed Cardiac Catheterization at the centre on Sunday. Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to examine how well the heart is working. A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted into a large blood vessel that leads to the heart. This is to enable the physician know if patients have disease of the heart muscle, valves or coronary (heart) arteries. In a release signed by the Chief Operating Officer of Tristate Cardiovascular Associate (TCA), Dr Olukunle Iyanda, the duo of Dr Ifeoluwa Adewoye and Dr Mirabel Nwosu, both females, have being training at the centre under the tutelage of the CEO of TCA/ Dean of the department of Cardiology, Prof Kamar Adeleke for a year now having served as assistants in the previous procedures, they were given the opportunity to solely perform the procedure while Prof Adeleke observed. Prof Adeleke said what took place at the centre is a dream come true since one of his major aims of coming back to Nigeria is not only to provide the advanced cardiovascular services that is so well needed but to also have a strategic development to train and develop local capacity, for the treatment of advanced cardiovascular related ailment in the country.

Honestly, this is such a wonderful achievement. They should replicate this type of Tristate Cardiac Centre facilities, in every state, especially in the Southwest in order to be able to bring high quality healthcare, closer to the people.

MainOne said it plans to start constructing the data centre later this year. The facility will be based in the Flowergate Industrial Park in Sagamu. It will be designed to provide services to the burgeoning industrial base in Ogun State as well as serve as a backup for businesses in Lagos State once ongoing repairs to the Lagos-Ibadan expressway are complete.

As a pioneering broadband company in Nigeria, we are excited to partner with Ogun State by creating in Sagamu a technology hub, capable of attracting local and international technology companies to do business in the state,” said Funke Opeke, MainOne’s CEO. “This is similar to what we have achieved in Lagos, where we transformed the Yaba area into Nigeria's undisputed 'Silicon Valley' that is now attracting international attention and investments.

ProfileOne of the significant contributions of Prof. Ashiru in the field of reproductive endocrinology is in the elucidation of mechanisms controlling pituitary gonadotropins (FSH) release.
He showed that exogenous FSH has a positive feedback on the release of endogenous FSH. That is the basic science behind the use of exogenous gonadotropins (Pergonal, Metrodin and others) for extra follicular development, in infertility management and IVF cycles. Currently his area of research is in embryo culture techniques and implantation failure.
He pioneered the IVF program in Nigeria in 1984 and his team successfully delivered the first test tube baby in Africa in 1986. He has over twenty five years in the management of difficult cases of infertility, twenty eight years experience in IVF and fifteen years experience with ICSI and new assisted reproduction technologies
He was appointed Consultant reproductive Endocrinologist to Lagos University Teaching Hospital in 1980 and Professor of Anatomy in 1983, making him the youngest appointed professor in Nigeria at the age of thirty two. He was reproductive Endocrinologist in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Omaha in 1978.
He obtained a joint appointment with the departments of Anatomy and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Illinois at Chicago(UIC) at Professorial level. He established two IVF programs for the University in 1996 and became the pioneer director of the University based IVF program at Chicago in 1996. It is currently one of the best IVF centres in the US. He has established collaborations with several infertility centres internationally. Professor Ashiru obtained the licentiate of the American Board of Bioanalysis in High Complexity Laboratory Director HCLD (ABB) in 1997.(The American regulatory and licensing body for assisted reproduction technologies).
He is the author of Want a Baby, a book on the causes, management and treatment of infertility

“It’s like a dream come true to be here,” he said. “Within two years I have gone from a business with 10 employees, to one with 39 employees directly, and close to 150 indirectly. Now the boy from the streets of Nigeria, has been invited by the White House for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit; that is all thanks to Stanford Seed. Isn’t that amazing?”

“For instance, I cant pay back working with 30 per cent interest rate loans.That is why many companies collapse, and that is why we have high level of bad debts in the banks today. When we talk about appropriate funding, we are talking about single digit interest loans,” he added.

Presently Mojec is working on been able to generate solar energy has an additional means of electricity supplied in some states in Nigeria and with this the rate/level of electricity outage is being reduce drastically.

Our model achieved through the method of Grid-connected systems which are being used for homes, public facilities such as schools and hospitals, and commercial facilities such as offices and shopping centers. Electricity generated during the daytime can be used right away, and in some cases surplus electricity can be sold to the utility power company. If the system doesn't generate enough electricity, or generates none at all (for example, on a cloudy or rainy day, or at night) electricity is purchased from the utility power company. Power production levels and surplus selling can be checked in real time on a monitor, an effective way to gauge daily energy consumption.
