He also said, “It (the 2024 Convention) should be one of the best conventions NiMSAites have attended, if not the best. A lot of effort has been and is still been made so that this year’s convention will forever be in the hearts and memories of NiMSAites”.
He confirmed that the Organising Committee will be headed by Sidiq Taofeeq, Regional Director of Sports, NiMSA South-West, and a member of the Ladoke Akintola University Medical Students’ Association (LAUMSA). When contacted, Mr. Sidiq echoed the same sentiments, saying, “LAUMSAites are so glad to have the convention. We’re planning as well as we can to make it a memorable one”.
