Nigeria needs to urgently address the dearth of Neurosurgeons currently practicing in the country. For a nation with a population of 160 million people,the current number of 40 practicing neurosurgeons in the country is rather appalling. This assertion was made by Professor Adefolarin Obanishola Malomo on August 23rd 2012 at the University of Ibadan Inaugural lecture titled 'Neurosurgery: Tinkering with the structure of the mind'. This was the 12th inaugural lecture for the 2011/2012 session. Professor Malomo who currently practices at the University College Hospital Ibadan,urged the relevant authorities to provide more funds to establish more training facilities in the country for Neurosurgeons.
