In his keynote address, Prince Adelusi-Adeluyi, who also doubled as chairman of the event attributed the woes plaguing the country to leadership problem, adding that there is indeed a need to return to ethical practice.

The chairman explained that he understands things are quite tough thereby compelling many people to ‘cut corners.’

“Once you are able to do this, you will make a lot of money and be respected in the society. But in truth, only a man of character can be trusted. One of these men of characters are health workers. As professionals, you must learn to be contented with your professional practice,” he said.

Prince Adelusi-Adeluyi appealed to people in the medical field to recognise the need for cooperation with other team players like pharmacists, laboratory technicians, radiographers, NAFDAC officials and a host of others.

He used the example of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge who was recently told to have a bed rest due to her pregnancy, stressing that her safety suddenly necessitated the presence of relevant health professionals to get their opinion.

“As I mentioned earlier, we all have relevant roles to play if there is ever going to be any hope for this our dear country – Nigeria.
