The award is sponsored by the Paediatrics Association in Nigeria (PAI)).
Omubo is the Best Graduating Student in Paediatrics for the 2014/2015 academic year, and received the prize money at the institution’s 31st convocation ceremony which held from March 17-25.
A twitter user who claimed to have graduated in the same set as Miss Omubo, Dr. Tuoyo Fregene (@ty_Fregz) had tweeted, “The best student in Paediatrics from my set back in sch was given her prize money today. Paediatric association of Nigeria gave her 250naira.”

The prize money is miles apart with that which the eventual winner of the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria would get: N25m prize money, in addition to a brand new Kia Sorento SUV and recording contracts.
