Good News Story
The story of how and why a LondonNigerian girl fell in love with healthcare
and flying. By 25 Ola was west africa’s
first flying doctor. As she says when your
passion leads you to do something visibly
worth spending your life on - the first
followers that celebrate you are absolutely
pivotal. MIT wants to start up a female
entrepreneurs course and alumni net
around her.

to benefit of societies.
