The multiple awards winning former presidential aspirant, Dr Thomas Wilson-Ikubese has again bagged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Platinum Award in recognition of his unrelenting services to humanity.
NBA Ondo City conferred the honour on him at the just concluded 2025 Law Week Dinner and Awards Night, held in Ondo City.
The 2025 Law Week which held from 8th to 13th August had its theme as “Dying Embers Of Professional Ethics: Blunted Sword Of The Gate Keepers”, under the distinguished chairmanship of Chief Wole Olanipekun, CFR, SAN.
In 2002, Dr Ikubese established Sckyé hospitals ltd in Akure and has been using the facility to bless so many people ever since. The facility which started as a solo practice, has since grown into a multi-specialist center.
The hospital offers free antenatal services to pregnant women, including free registration, free blood and urine tests, free ultrasound scans, free drugs, free specialist consultations, free vaginal deliveries and free caesarean section surgeries for higher order multiple gestations.
Each higher order multiple birth baby is also placed on a monthly support allowance of ten thousand naira for a period of one year. A family that delivers a set of triplets thus gets to receive the sum of thirty thousand naira monthly for a year. Several families have benefited from this gesture and many more are currently benefiting from it.
Dr Ikubese is also known to have written off the bills of several indigent patients who could not afford the cost of medicare in his facility.
This uncommon act of charity has won him recognition and several awards from various institutions and organizations.
