@Chikwe_I @thisisone2one Thanks @Chikwe_I A most insightful conversation. Glad we could do it in Lagos, Nigeria, not in Geneva or Berlin.

Spent the break in Nigeria, where I also sat down for this podcast with @thisisone2one on the health sector and my time at NCDC. Thanks @drtsbey for pushing :). youtu.be/RYi5FDvTF-w

Together, we explore how pandemics expose deeper structural realities, the role institutions play in shaping outcomes, and what happens when systems fail — including the cost of institutional absence and the challenge of building capacity under pressure.

But the true impact? Empowered people, thriving communities, and a new future for African agriculture. Watch on @thisisone2one here: youtu.be/QWerLWZbHFk #KolaMasha #BabbanGona #AgriTech #SocialImpact #One2One #BigIdeas #NigeriaRising

Half a million farmers. A Made-in-Nigeria success story. Kola Masha’s Babban Gona (“Great Farm”) is transforming smallholder farming and lives across northern Nigeria. @HarvardHBS called it “one of the largest farming operations in the world - 12x Manhattan!”

"... When you look at the complexity of the problems that exist around us, they are each an opportunity for innovation, for creativity, and an opportunity to create wealth — that is why investors from different regions are investing in our tech businesses here on the continent".

patients, and to my family for their unwavering support and without whose permission it would have been impossible to pursue these goals. Above all, I thank God for the strength and guidance throughout my tenure. I am excited about the prospect of exploring new opportunities.

As I embark on the next phase of my journey, I will focus my effort on broadening this vision, empowering and transforming the health of communities through enhanced access to high-quality care. I am grateful to the exceptional Duchess Hospital team, our partners, stakeholders..

*A Legacy of Impact: Reflections on My Tenure as CEO of Duchess International Hospital* It is with mixed emotions of pride, gratitude, and a sense of responsibility that I reflect at the conclusion of my 4-year journey as CEO of @DuchessHospital.

...of medical tourism abroad. For two consecutive years (in 2024 and 2025), we received the prestigious award of Private Tertiary Hospital of the Year. Our mission aligns with my personal belief and vision that all Nigerians deserve affordable, quality healthcare.

At Duchess, we built a wholly indigenous project, driven by our vision for a resilient healthcare system. We combined cutting-edge technology, international clinical expertise, and compassionate patient care to deliver the highest standards of care and reverse the trend...

Meanwhile, billions are lost to medical tourism each year, and our doctor-patient ratio stands at a staggering 1:6000. This insidious complex triad has eroded public confidence and trust in our healthcare and undermined the integrity of our health system nationwide.

Nigeria's healthcare system faces a daunting triple threat of limited access, compromised quality, and inadequate funding of essential services. With a meagre $70 per capita healthcare spending, the private sector bears 70% of the burden for 200 million Nigerians.

After three decades in healthcare as a clinician, administrator and consultant, I can confidently say that my time as Duchess CEO has been the most meaningful and impactful chapter of my career.
