On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at the prestigious University of Benin, Dr. Osifo D. Aigbovbiosa took the Hippocratic Oath—a sacred rite of passage into the noble world of medicine. But behind this proud new doctor stands a towering figure in the field- Prof David Osarumwense Osifo—his father, mentor, and lifelong role model.
A former Commissioner for Health in Edo State, Prof. Osifo has spent his life healing people, mentoring future doctors, and championing community health.
As a globally respected Paediatric Surgeon, his groundbreaking research has been published in top-tier international journals. But perhaps his greatest achievement lies not only in his academic accolades, but in the values he instilled in his students and children.
Prof. Osifo has earned numerous awards as Best Lecturer—a testament to his unwavering dedication and exceptional teaching.
Thirty four years ago, he took this same oath and today he watched his son do the same – a legacy! This is what legacy looks like. This is the joy of a father and his family.
Congratulations to Prof. David Osarumwense Osifo and his dear wife.
