The people of Adamawa State have showered praises on Dr. Batulu Isa Muhammad over her recent award by the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (MWAN).
Muhammad, an Adamawa-born medical doctor got encomiums from many people in and outside Adamawa State for getting the award among many competitors contesting from each geo-political zone of the country.
The social media handles of many sons and daughters of the state  on Saturday night, went agog with congratulatory notes to Dr. Muhammd for making them proud.
It  would be recalled that the MWAN 2021 medical woman of the year award was given to her after seven people  voted in her favour being the only woman who  emerged to the final stage from the North East.
Dr. Anisa Yahaya (Kaduna) from North West, Dr. Adesuwa Urhoghide-Edigin (Edo) from South-South got four votes each, while Dr. Oyinye Anyanwu (Ebonyi) from South East, Dr. Olusola Taiwo (Oyo) from South-West respectively, got three votes each and Dr. Maureen Umemmuo (FCT) got two votes  for the award, claimed by Dr Muhammad.
When contacted by our correspondent, she expressed  delight and thanked God for making the award a reality in her favour, from many competitors.
While dedicating the award to God and her selfless work to humanity, especially the less privileged, Muhammad said the honour will prompt her to giving her best to the service of her  state and the nation in general.
“I want to thank everyone who has supported me in one way or the other, my husband and my children for standing by me at all times, the people of Adamawa for believing in my call to serve humanity in this my chosen career,” she said.

She received the award as the MWAN Woman of the Year in grand style to celebrate her  achievements as a medical administrator.
The award by the National body in its recent Biennial Conference at University College Hospital, Ibadan according to her, is one of the most cherished  and held in high esteem.
Dr. Muhammad  who was the former Executive Chairman, Adamawa State Primary Healthcare Board, now serving as one of the primary healthcare experts at the National level, thanked MWAN for the honour.
