When will occupational therapy move forward like its sister physiotherapy profession in Nigeria, I guess that is a rhetoric question left for us to answer.

Besides from the rhetoric, the task is a hand and should be accepted as a challenge to all concern. For all the clients who are in need of the services we need to move progressively as a group.
