She described Dr. Mustapha as a hardworking, dynamic and responsible leader who makes things happen. She revealed that just a year ago, Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital was not like this. She said the positive turnaround being witnessed right now are as a result of Dr. Mustapha’s ability to turn things around. She described Dr, Mustapha as an evolver who always turns things around positively.
