“I have been attending to patients with integrity, I make sure I do everything the right way, but I’m not getting anything in return. It looks like there can never be a reward for my integrity; sometimes I will be asking myself are people not seeing what I am doing? But this night represent an answer to my prayer”, emotional Pharm. Olu-Lawal said.
The overall winner of the award claims N1 million. The sponsor of the award has also announced N100, 000 cash prize each for two runners up.
