Badero, Nigerian cardiologist in NY gets US Congressional citation

"Mr. Speaker, Dr. Oluyemi O. Badero has reached the highest levels of medicine in our country, all the way from Nigeria and he has used his expertise to improve the lives of his community."

Those were the words of a US Congressman from New York, the powerful Ed Towns when he spoke recently at the US House of Representative to honor a young Nigerian cardiologist based in his constituency in New York City.

Last Monday in Brooklyn, New York Congressman Ed Towns held a remarkable reception for Nigerian born Dr. Oluyemi O. Badero, 43, where he presented the top class cardiologist with a plaque bearing his citation in the US Congressional Record entitled "A Tribute to Oluyemi O. Badero, MD. FACC."

In New York of today, Badero is regarded as one of the topmost interventional cardiologist, and only recently was named the topmost black doctor in New York by a newsmagazine, The Network Journal. In an edition of the magazine that emblazoned Badero's picture on the front cover page, the magazine noted that Badero "deals with matters of the heart by getting to the heart of the matter."
