A Doctor Takes It All

When the news filtered in that a young medical doctor, Dr. Adetola Rachael Adeyeye, had won the maiden Feature Article Writing Competition, it was quite a surprise, given the margin that lies between the practice of medicine and the literary world. The competition was initiated in February 2016 by Oando Marketing Plc for good reasons. First, to meet the need for developing literary skills while enhancing human capital development. Secondly, it is to fire up the reading culture in Nigeria. Unlike many competitions organised by corporate organisations, this literary contest was open to all Oando Marketing PLC’s employees and followers on its online platforms and had 135 entries in all.
