It was another milestone yesterday in Babcock University as the first heart surgery was performed there by its doctors. The operation lasted six hours. The first beneficiary of this feat in the history of the university is a 34-year-old woman who brimmed with exceptional spirit as she calmly walked through the door with gaiety into the theatre for a life saving venture in the human hands of cardio thoracic surgeons: Professor Kamar Adeleke, Dr. Michael Sanusi, Dr. Mudashiru Lawal and Dr. Edward Anderson, all resident doctors, under God’s divine care. Dr. Anderson led the team for the operations. Those were not the only ones who were part of the epoch-making exercise. There were other 15 critical care personnel in the operating theatre to provide specific required services. They included perfussionists, cardiac operations nurses, internists and anesthesiologists. Yesterday’s surgery was a milk valve replacement. Today, another set of patients’ hearts are receiving car...

Firstly, We at Mother`s Joy Academy congratulates all 2014 Batch C corpers on their POP today. We wish you all the very best as you march into the Job market. Below is an interesting article submitted by one of our readers that you might find useful; What You Should Be Doing If You’re Unemployed Applying to jobs you’re not qualified for (which 50% of job seekers reportedly do!) is counter-productive to your job search. Competition is too fierce. Even qualified applicants aren’t getting callbacks. So, stop applying to so many jobs and allocate time each week to becoming more hirable. Here’s how… 1. Volunteer: Volunteering can increase your chances of being hired if you’re strategic about it. Unemployed teacher?  Help out with after school programs or volunteer to be a coach’s assistant. Web designer?  Find a local non-profit in desperate need of a re-design and offer your services at no cost. By volunteering somewhere relevant, you’ll keep your skills fresh ...
