Believed to be the first Muslim western-trained medical doctor in Nigeria, Abdul-Hamid Saka Tinubu was born on February 24, 1901, to Alfa Saka Tinubu, a wealthy and influential Lagos businessman, community leader, and philanthropist who was based at 51, Kakawa Street, Lagos. In 1926, at the age of 25, Saka Tinubu gained admission to study Medicine at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, where he graduated five years later in 1931 at age 30. Upon returning to Lagos, Dr Abdul-Hamid Saka Tinubu established himself as a dedicated medical practitioner while also gaining prominence as a Lagos sportsman. In the early 1930s, Tinubu married Wulemotu Agbeke, and their union was blessed with a daughter, Wusamot Adedoyin Saka Tinubu (later Adegoke). Well known for his commitment to fitness, Dr Abdul-Hamid Saka Tinubu maintained a routine of aerobic exercise and daily 10-mile walks well into his late sixties. However, he passed away on January 24, 1971, in Lagos, Nigeria, one month shy of his 70th birthday. He was 69. In recognition of the Saka Tinubus' remarkable achievements, a prominent street in Victoria Island, Lagos—Saka Tinubu Street—was named in their honour. The Saka Tinubu Memorial High School, Orile Agege, was also named for them, ensuring that their legacy in religion, medicine, sports, and education continues to inspire future generations. #historyville
