Dear Colleagues,

The Nigeria Physiotherapy Network was extremely elated and very PROUD to learn that a Nigerian trained physiotherapist is making NATIONAL HEADLINE news in the United States of America.

This illustrious Nigerian Physiotherapist and expert in Driving Simulation after Stroke is no other than our very own Dr. Abiodun Emmanuel Akinwuntan, an Assistant Professor and Director, Driving Simulation Laboratory, Department of Physical Therapy, Medical College of Georgia.

Professor Akinwuntan's laboratory and research became the focus of attention of NBC-Augusta recently. It is noteworthy that the NBC-Augusta is the local affiliate of NBC News, American's National News leader. The NBC-Augusta visited Dr. Akinwuntan's laboratory and were so amazed at his work that they made a National spectacle of his Driving Simulation after Stroke Laboratory.
