Joy Omubo, who made headlines after being presented with a N250 gift by the Pediatrics Association of Nigeria

After 2 years of
graduating from UNIPORT, has disclosed that
she's grateful for the gift.
The 25-year old who disclosed this in an
interview with Punch, said;
" About the cash prize, I’m grateful for the
gesture. I do not feel entitled to anything and
nobody actually owes me anything, so I don’t
feel sad.
I would always be grateful for everything I got
and anything it brings to me in the nearest
future. I appreciate my lecturers especially the
paediatricians because without the knowledge
they imparted in me, I wouldn’t have achieved
this.
I’m also grateful to UNIPORT for giving me the
platform to achieve my dreams. The cash reward
was inconsequential to me because following
this award, I was already recognised at my
induction ceremony and the smile on the faces
of my family members and friends made the
entire journey worthwhile.
The Chief Medical Director, University of Port
Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Prof. Aaron Ojule,
also offered myself and 24 of my colleagues
immediate placement for internship.
The Association of Resident Doctors gave us a
warm reception upon our resumption of
internship as well as gifts to celebrate our
achievements. So in all, I’m actually very
grateful.”
