This is just as Dr Olusimbo Ige emerged the first black woman to be appointed as a Commissioner in Chicago Department of Public Health few days ago.

The NiDCOM boss said the Commission will not be tired of celebrating the
Diaspora icons bringing honour and fame to the country through their
chosen career.

Dabiri-Erewa said it was particularly pleasing that more Nigerian women
are shinning in global arena thus putting Nigeria in a robust positive
image abroad.

She described the appointment of Olateju in Maryland, US as a
Commissioner as an added blessings to Nigeria coming shortly after that
of Dr Olusimbo Ige as Commissioner in Chicago Department of Public
health.

Nigerian-born Dr. Oluwatosin Olateju was recently appointed by Governor
Wes Moore of Maryland as the first Black Woman in the State’s History to
serve as Commissioner and Co-Chair for the newly established Commission
on Public Health.

The Commission will assess the foundational public health capabilities
of the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) and Local Health Departments
(LHDs), and make recommendations to improve the delivery of foundational
public health services in the state.
