Dayo Olakulehin M:  Inventor & Entrepreneur, Co-Founder and CEO, Ligand Innovation Global, Ontario, Canada.The international reputation of the University of Lagos, especially the College of Medicine with many notable alumni made the University of First Choice my first choice! The extremely competitive admission process guaranteed that I would be learning with Nigeria’s very best of the best.

My typical career as a clinical innovator and entrepreneur was birthed by my experiences as a student at the College of Medicine where we were exposed early to problem-based learning and critical thinking. In my very early practice at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, I was already primed to identify problems, gaps and experiential loopholes in the way we cared for our patients. This resulted in my concept for an affordable battery-powered ventilator that is now in huge demand all around the world. I remain grateful for this privilege and continue to engage with my colleagues, senior colleagues, faculty and eminent professors at the college and hospital for mentorship, guidance and strategic alliances to deliver value to the multiple need and opportunity areas we have identified globally.
