President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Bolu Ogunyemi, a clinical associate professor of Medicine at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, on his recent election as president of the Canadian Medical Association.
The president made the commendation on Monday in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, his spokesman.
