He also expressed his deep gratitude to all his colleagues who supported him all through the competition, from the nomination stage to the voting level, saying : “This is an indication to tell us that what we are doing is good, and we shall improve on it”.

The Award Winner, who narrated his confusion after the completion of his internship, said he was determined to impart from the onset, because he was not satisfied settling for only drugs dispensing and counselling, thus, he laid his hands on different things, before settling for Medinomics.com, though it is still in its formative stage.
