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.

“President Tinubu celebrates this remarkable achievement with Mr Ogunyemi, a renowned dermatologist in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and a visiting specialist in Labrador City since 2018.

“This esteemed recognition is a testament to Mr Ogunyemi’s visionary leadership, dedication to excellence, and compassionate commitment to enhancing the welfare of others,” said the statement.

Mr Tinubu expressed optimism that the forthcoming approval of Mr Ogunyemi’s election at the CMA’s annual general meeting in May 2025 would empower him and enable him to elevate the association to heights.

The president urged the clinical associate professor to remain steadfast and focused on fulfilling his new mandate with inclusivity and respect for diverse perspectives.
