Retirement is a time to celebrate, recount, and reflect, and there is much to celebrate about Dr. Terungwa Acho’s journey. To many, he represents courage, conviction, and the willingness to speak truth to power, even if it meant entering the lion’s den.
After a distinguished academic journey through the University of Lagos, Dr. Acho’s career traversed the nation, ultimately leading him to the epicenter of power, Aso Rock. As a young medical officer, his dedication to service was exemplary. Known for his insistence on doing things the right way, he quickly earned respect for his work ethic.
Although he had a natural affinity for Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dr. Acho eventually found his place in the Department of Internal Medicine, where his contributions were significant and enduring. His passion for bedside teaching, his ability to meticulously extract vital patient information, and his extraordinary skill in patient counseling are legendary.
After 29 years of passionate service in the federal civil service, Dr. Acho retires as a Director, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and excellence.
On behalf of the Department of Internal Medicine, we celebrate this fine physician, senior brother, colleague and friend.
We honor Dr. Acho, a proud Tiv man (a man of his people), for the many memorable moments he leaves us with, and we send him off with our warmest congratulations.
God bless you, Dr. Acho, and may God’s speed be with you in this new chapter of life.
