About Me
I have always believed that women should have the option of pain relief if they choose. My career has always been centered around the welfare of pregnant women who are anxious of their pregnancy, outcome and babies. My British Nigerian background gives me a wide flexible approach to care. I love to travel and my current interest in global health ensures I care for women even in very distant countries.
