Your demise was so difficult to swallow. You were a great leader in every sense of the word. But we have come to realize that death is inevitable and life remains a mystery. You will be greatly missed. Continue to rest in peace Prof.

I call him MBT because we are always together planning and discussing the welfare of colleagues. He was very passionate about our welfare and the future of medical education in Nigeria. I will miss all the time we shared together during our trips for meetings and accreditations. May his soul rest in peace .
