(Sir) Ifeanyi  Atueyi, managing director, Pharmanews Ltd; Pharm. Deji Osinoiki, and late Dr Uford Inyang  have bagged the distinguished fellowship of NAPPSA.

The names of the newly installed fellows are: Dr Funmi Ajayi, former president; Dr Olu Alaba; Dr Nkere K. Ebube, immediate past president; Dr Leo Egbujiobi, new president; Emmanuel Ezirim; Nnodum Ihere ; Dr Patrick Nwakama;  Dr Echeazu Ogu; Dr Sunny Ohia, Late Dr Yetunde Taiwo; Dr Sydney Ugwu, and the three Nigerians.

 

Egbujiobi, the newly installed president, in his welcome remarks appreciated all participants at the conference, noting that the hosting of the meeting at Houston was not accidental, but deliberately planned to mark the 10th anniversary of NAPPSA, to acknowledge and appreciate founding members, and to exercise third hand over of people’s representative, which is the new leadership.

 

Accepting the leadership mantle, he assured the members of the continuity of the association’s agenda and mission, while he is poised to bring along the younger generation of leaders with shared  appetite for the growth and the sustainability of NAPPSA.
