Seest thou a man diligent in his duties? He shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean
men'. Unequivocally, this popular proverbial verse of the bible aptly describes the newly sworn-in Lagos

experienced and versatile Medical Doctor who specializes in Internal Medicine and Haematology,
Environmental Health and Biobanking. He has served as a Lecturer and Practitioner in Africa as well as
the West Indies and written numerous research publications on Cancer, Diabetes and Sickle Cell Anemia.

He obtained a MBBS degree from the Royal Medical College of St Bartholomew's Hospital in the
University of London, United Kingdom in 1983 and a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) in Ecology and
Environmental Health Management from the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2006.

Prior to obtaining his MPhil, Dr. Akinola Abayomi was a Consultant Haematologist and Lecturer at the
University of Zimbabwe Medical School and Harare Group of Teaching Hospitals, between 1994 and
1998. He was also Chief Physician at the Princess Maina Hospital, Gabarone, Botswana in 1998.
