Dr Akinlabi Ajao graduated MBBS from the University of Ibadan in 2006. He subsequently underwent residency training in Surgery at the University College Hospital, Ibadan between 2009 and 2015. During this period, he also had some exposure at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla and the King’s College Hospital, London. He obtained the fellowship of West African College of Surgeons in Paediatric Surgery in April 2015. In February 2018, he obtained a Master of Science degree in Epidemiology and Medical Statistics at the University of Ibadan.

Akinlabi joined the faculty of the College of Health Sciences at the Bowen University, Iwo, Nigeria working as a Lecturer in the Department of Surgery and was part of the success story of the graduation of the pioneer medical students at the institution. Akinlabi also worked as examination coordinator at the Department of Surgery of the Bowen University and was involved in various part of the medical school training at the time.

Area of Specialization

Akinlabi has so far done most his works in Paediatric General Surgery, including neonatal surgery and surgeries of the lower urinary tract. He is currently focusing on expanding our current practice of paediatric urology and laparoscopy in Paediatric Surgery. He is currently involved in research work in paediatric urology, partnering with specialists at the Royal Manchester Children Hospital, United Kingdom to fine tune his knowledge in the field. He hopes that this would form a major part of his focus in the next few years.

Other Interest/Hobbies

I love music and I have participated in a lot of musical events, included concerts and orchestras. I love to sing and play the guitar. I have worked as Choir coordinator of various groups in my local church and musical groups at the University College Hospital community as well. 

I love to organise events and have been part of the groundwork for events such as musical concerts, medical outreaches, clinical courses and examinations at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I am also a lover of children and this is evident in my chosen discipline of paediatric surgery and I have also organised and led a children choir, which also performed in concerts. I love teaching children and love the fact that you have to make things as simple as possible and also realise how so unutilized the child’s mind is when it comes to the how much of their talents they can actually display at young ages.

I have been part of a lot of medical outreaches within and outside Nigeria and love the smiles that I am able to put on the faces of people that a less privileged and would always do anything to put a smile on people’s faces.
