On behalf of the Management of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, I extend heartfelt greetings to all our staff, students, patients, clients, and indeed all Nigerians on this year’s Independence Day celebration.
This day reminds us of the freedom and responsibility we share as one nation under God, a people strengthened by resilience, lifted by hope, and united in our common destiny. It is a moment to reflect on how far we have come as a people and to renew our commitment to building the Nigeria of our dreams.
At UBTH, we take pride in being part of this national journey. As a foremost teaching hospital, we remain dedicated to pushing the frontiers of medical research, innovation, and clinical excellence. Every patient treated, every student trained, and every life touched reflects our contribution to the progress of our beloved nation.
Your health is precious to us. As Nigeria moves forward with courage and vision, UBTH will continue to stand as a beacon of healing, knowledge, and service to humanity.
May this Independence Day inspire unity, sacrifice, and renewed patriotism in us all. Together, let us keep faith alive for a healthier, stronger, and brighter Nigeria.
Happy Independence Day!
Prof. (Mrs.) Idia Nibokun Ize-Iyamu
Chief Medical Director
