Dr Obudu spent his undergraduate years in Lagos and Nigeria, establishing women’s health clinics and medical education services. He then relocated to the UK and completed his postgraduate studies in obstetrics and gynaecology, achieving the certificate of completion of training CCT from the General Medical Council UK.
