After his undergraduate education, Mr Alao interned with the University College Hospital, Ibadan, rendering rehabilitation services to hundreds of patients. He then proceeded to serve as a Physiotherapist at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto. At Sokoto he volunteered with the ‘Childhood Disease Eradication Club,’ refurbishing the Aliyu Jodi Primary Health Centre, advocating for the health of the Nigerian child and reaching out to impoverished children in northern Nigeria. Mr Alao has great confidence in the inner resources of humans and believes the world could be a better place through people building and selfless leadership. Hence, he has led in different groups ranging from health and outreach committees to Christian fellowships and mentorship activities. Rotimi spends his free time playing football in the evenings and composing songs on the piano. During his few years of professional practice he has had to constantly grapple with sudden halts in patients rehabilitation and inadequate health technologies due to insufficient health coverage and poor health financing. Mr Alao has therefore developed a passion for strengthening the Nigerian health system with a focus on, 'improving access to and quality of rehabilitation services in Nigeria.’ To this end also hopes to start a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation.
