Medical Director / CEO at Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta

The Federal Medical Centre (formerly called the Nigerian Railway Hospital) was commissioned on 23rd November, 1964 by the then president, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe of blessed memory. It was established solely to cater for the medical needs of the workers of the Nigerian Railway Corporation and their families. Between 1967 -1970, during the Nigerian Civil War, the hospital was annexed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) where wounded soldiers were catered for.

Again, between 1984 and 1995, the hospital served as a referral Centre for parastatals under the Federal Ministry of Transport and Aviation initially offering free medical services to the staff of the railways.
