I am delighted to recommend AJAKAIYE, DEBORAH ERIOLUWA. She was under

my supervision for a period of one year (twelve-calender month) from 16th
November, 2020 to 15th November 2021 at the Department of Physiotherapy,
University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH ), Nigeria. The level of self-confidence,
self-discipline and reflective development exhibited by her during the period of
internship inspired me to have a closer and persistent communication with her.

It is noteworthy to commend her therapeutic, counselling and examination
