The Executive Director of Accentcare Home Health Services, Dr. Ifeoma Grace Orifa, has described passion for service to mankind as her strength and motivation.
She stated this on Tuesday when she received a ‘Golden Role Model’ award from the Nigeria Youth Advocacy for Good Governance Initiative (NYAGGI) in her office.
The award described her as an “epitome of human services’ and praised her for her patriotic zeal to youth empowerment as well as passionate commitment to qualitative and affordable healthcare, social development, service to humanity and God Almighty.”
The medical professional, who expressed excitement at being recognised by the rights organisation, said she had been challenged to do more.
“If I can be recognised this way even while in my own corner, I am further challenged to put more smiles on the faces of Nigerians.
“I am a passionate person driven by the need to empower Nigerians, especially those who want to be empowered. I will continue to better the society through my profession.
“As you know, I have not achieved this alone,” she said while commending her staff for their commitment to work.
Earlier, head of NYAGGI, Comrade Alabi Akeem Abiodun, said his organisation was moved to celebrate Dr. Orifa for her selfless service to humanity.
“We have followed your activities for a while and are strengthened by the fact that there are still kind-hearted Nigerians who want happiness for the people.
“Coming to your office, we are further reaffirming our positive opinion about your work. You are an ambassador for the youth and humanity.
“In a country where people complain that the government may not be measuring up, you have become a role-model, a committed and patriotic Nigerian and true mother who sacrifices for the happiness of others,” Comrade Abiodun said.
