Just as Umuaka Times went to the press last week with the list of awardees for 2022, words came to the newspaper that Dr Agbahiwe Jr, who is the youngest male recipient of Umuaka Times awards for 2022, has again emerged the Overall Best House Officer from the Department of Internal Medicine University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital for the year 2022.
Further findings made by Umuaka Times showed that the award was presented to Dr Agbahiwe Jr “for his outstanding, performance and dedication to duty”.
