Only in Nigeria Category:News | Date:2008-09-20 N36m fraud hits Ebonyi University Teaching Hospital, CMD sacked The Ebonyi State government has uncovered fraud to the tune of N36 million at the state University Teaching Hospital, causing the State Government to sack the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu. The Nation gathered that the fraud was padded up in the allowances and arrears to be paid to resident doctors, when government demanded for vouchers to be prepared for the payment of resident doctors’ accumulated allowances and arrears. Sources revealed that there was additional N36 million naira to the total sum of N200 million, which was the actual amount that was supposed to be the accumulated wage bill causing the state government to suspect that the hospital management did not provide the actual figure for the payment of the allowances and arrears. In its efforts to carryout investigation into the matter, the State Government decided to relieve the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu, of his position for what source described as "genuine investigation of the fraud." This development, a source said, led to the indefinite industrial action embarked upon by the resident doctors in the state teaching hospital. A new Chief Medical Director has been appointed. He is Dr. Ekuma Aja, a renowned consultant surgeon and retired rear admiral of the Nigeria Navy. Hospital sources noted that the new CMD faced a herculian task in his new duty as a lot of needless actions were taken by the CMD in terms of victimization of some medical personnel on tribal grounds. Reacting to the matter, a public analyst in the state, Mr. George Nwankwo, called on the State Government to establish a general hospital in Abakaliki metropolis, stressing that the absence of a general hospital has made lifre difficult for the people. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/archive2/tblnews_Detail.php?id=63338 5 Likes |

My friend, posting things like this will never help you. Doctor Onyebuchi was never indicted in the investigation. The people that was found guilty was later arrested and tried in court. Please, correct yourself and get some education. 94 Likes |

Morotov1: Stop washing your dirty linens in public. No profession has monopoly of corruption. Its personal discipline not to pilfer public funds when thrust with the opportunity. However, how was this man cleared by the National assembly to occupy such a lofty office with such background ? 30 Likes |

When non-sentimental people like me criticize Jonathan, they say we are too tough, we are not patriotic we are this and that. Can anyone explain why a good number of Jonathan's aides/political allies have one corruption charge or the other attached to their names? 58 Likes |
