A US-based Nigerian doctor, Olakunle Akinboboye has emerged as the new president of the Association of Black Cardiologists in the US, Empowered Newswire reports.

 Akinboboye was unanimously elected by the 4500 member-strong US national umbrella organization recently and inaugurated last month in Chicago Illinois. Speaking in an exclusive interview, the Chief Executive Officer of the association, Mr. Andre Williams said "the association is excited to have Dr. Ola Akinboboye become the

 president of ABC," for the next two years.

 Akinboboye, a graduate of Medicine from the University of Ibadan, is a prominent US medical practitioner with health centers in New York, an award-winning nuclear cardiologist, and is listed among the Top Doctors in the New York region by leading US medical publications.

The president and leaders of the ABC are deemed among significant figures in the American society in the driving and directing the nation's medical and health policy outside of government circles, by the virtue of the association's representation of all black Americans and people of color. This is a good one for my dear country, at least we are not only known for bad things around the world.
