FIRST ANNUAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATION CONFERENCE
FIRST ANNUAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATION CONFERENCE
Reshaping the Public Health Agenda in Nigeria: Building Knowledge in Health and Education Saturday, October 28, 2006
Sheraton Columbia, Maryland
10207 Wincopin Circle
Columbia, MD 21044
A strong public health infrastructure provides the capacity to prepare for and respond to emerging and long standing public health challenges. Such an infrastructure serves as the foundation for planning, delivering, and evaluating public health and requires a well-educated and well-trained professional public health workforce. Assuring a competent public health workforce is vital to managing the health of a population.
There has been a general neglect of both the public health workforce and its related infrastructure in Nigeria including its long-term development. The 1st Annual PHENIG conference will address issues of development. We hope that the conference will lead to better understanding of future trends and challenges in public health and education.

You too can make a difference, don't talk about it be about it!
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
