A book titled “Understanding Medical School” in honour of the late unionist Tinuade Sangotade has been launched in Ibadan by the 2000 set of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association.
The chief launcher and visioner of the book Dr Micheal Koku said the book which is over one hundred pages was meant to celebrate the life of a great female unionist, who died in a road accident before their set graduated
Dr Micheal Koku noted that the launch of the book was also done alongside the birth of a foundation called “Tinuade Academy” where all proceeds from the book would be channelled into.
According to him, “Tinuade, who happened to be the vice president then with my encouragement was not just a regular student, as her impact in the department would forever be remembered”.
President, Medical Women Association of Nigeria, MWAN Oyo State Chapter Dr Omowunmi Femi-Akinlosotu said the association collaborated with Dr Micheal Koku to bring the Leadership Academy to birth in honour of the late Tinuade Sangolade who was also in her set back then.
The book reviewer, who is a research Anthropologist in the Department of African Studies University of Ibadan Dr Oludare Oshiwoye said the book was a compendium of counsel for medical students on how to navigate and scale through all processes in the school.
According to him, nine students including the coordinator of the group Dr Micheal Koku all came together to write about how they were able to excel in school.
Father of the late unionist, Mr John Sangolade, who came alongside members of his family, said the launch of the book Understanding Medical School in honour of her daughter had erased all his sorrow in the past years.
According to Mr Sangolade, Tinade died alongside her three other siblings and her mother in a car accident twenty-two years ago along Ife Road.
