Dr. Paul Akintelure, a distinguished medical practitioner and community leader, was born in the vibrant town of Igbotako, Ondo State, Nigeria. His journey in education began at St. Anthony’s RCM School, Omotosho, in 1967. Following his family’s relocation, he continued his primary education at St. Pius Primary School, Igbotako, and excelled academically, completing his primary education in 1973. Tragedy struck in 1978 when his father, Mr. S.O. Akintelure, a teacher, passed away in a road traffic accident. Despite this setback, Dr. Akintelure’s academic prowess earned him a government scholarship in 1976, witnessed by his late father.
Undeterred by the challenges, Dr. Paul Akintelure‘s journey took him to Manuwa Memorial Grammar School, Iju-Odo, in 1975, where his exceptional intelligence shone through. He secured a Division One grade in the West African School Certificate Exams (WASCE) in 1980, a testament to his academic dedication. His passion for medicine led him to decline offers from two polytechnics and the University of Benin, opting instead for a rigorous A-level program at the Federal Government College, Odogbolu. This choice marked the beginning of his remarkable journey toward a medical degree at the University of Ibadan, where he obtained his MBBS in 1990.
Beyond his impressive academic achievements, Dr. Akintelure is a devoted family man. Blessed with four children, two girls, and two boys, he embodies the values of commitment and responsibility.
