A BRIDGE ACROSS TIME: The Benin Factor in Nigerian History

Series No.: 
23
Delivered by: 
Prof. P.A Igbafe
Delivered on: 
Tuesday, April 29, 1986

For several reasons, the topic of my lecture, ‘A bridge across time’, may sound to many in this audience as strange, bizarre and out of place except to those who are in my area of specialization. The sub-title was therefore quickly supplied to assure my academic and other colleagues that I have not changed my profession or academic discipline. In the first place, this institution of ours, now the University of Benin, was originally conceived, initially nurtured as a Mid-west Institute of Technology where the liberal arts had no place. Perhaps while many were not looking, the humanities and the social sciences crept into the system to dilute the purity of a science and technology institution. The building of bridges is the preserve of engineers who rightly belong to the science and technology fold.

The Child Needs His Own Surgeon, Distress Call

Series No.: 
109
Delivered by: 
Evbuomwan.I.
Delivered on: 
Thursday, April 29, 2010

This lecture, the 109th in the Inaugural Lecture Series of the University of Benin looks into one aspect of the Infant welfare little addressed when discussing Maternal and Infant Mortality.

The first part gives a philosophy of human existence and his place in the History of Medicine. It looks into the origin of life, the development from conception to the baby being born. The newborn may begin life with any one of the possible problems resulting from abnormal factors that could affect the embryonic development. In the lecture I have recalled the recognition of specialized treatment and the challenges in the child age.

The lecture then takes on the aspect of difficulties resulting from ano-rectal anomalies and dysfunction in the child as a typical problem case. The problems start from the time of birth and the child requires complete care and expert skill. Many of the conditions require surgical treatment. Surgery on Infants have evolved through decades and now has become well established. The child needs his own surgeon, the Paediatric Surgeon.

The lecture then elaborates the many areas where Paediatric Surgery gives specialized care; it illustrates the need for developing the special care to improve child medical care.
