WHAT A HAPPY WEEK

You may recall that I recently sent a mail of encouragement to my colleagues of Nenwe origin appearing for the just concluded Fellowship Examinations of the National and the West African Post Graduate Medical Colleges. At the beginning of this week, Dr Cornelius C. Chukwuegbo called me to announce his success in the Part I Fellowship Examination in Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology of both the National and the West African Post Graduate Medical Colleges . A day later, I called Dr Emeka Ihechi Udeh to be informed of his success in the Part II (Final) Fellowship Examination of the National Post Graduate Medical College in Cardio-thoracic Surgery. He has since taken up a Consultant/ Lecturer I position with the ESUT Teaching Hospital. On Wednesday, Dr Chris Ejikeme Edeh walked into my office and announced his success in the Part I Fellowship Examination of the National Post Graduate Medical College in Restorative Dentistry. All these successes were at first attempt! To crown it all, on Thursday I got a memorable SMS from my very own. On this Ascension day of our Lord, the University of Nigeria , Nsukka announced the ascension of Dr Chukwuemeka Basil Chukwuali to the coveted chair of full PROFESSOR OF ARCHITECTURE of the University of Nigeria Nsukka with effect from October 2002. Oh! What a week. What a happy week for me and for Nenwei. I am, indeed, a happy man. Dr L.I.Chukwuali (JP) MBBS, FWACS, FICS. _ . __,_.._,___
