Govt Did Not Sack 16,500 Doctors by lekanolas: 12:04am On Aug 21, 2014
The Federal Government on Wednesday said the 16 500 resident doctors on its payroll have not been sacked.

The Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu, made this known while fielding questions from State House correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.

The clarification is rather late, coming a week after the announcement of the suspension of the doctors residency programme in all Federal Government hospitals.

Chukwu blamed misinterpretation for the wrong signal sent out, insisting that the programme has only been suspended to give room for total overhaul by a committee that would soon be put in place.

He, however, hinted that the suspension of the residency programme may last for months.

His words: “They were not sacked.

“It is a matter of interpretation.

“For example, if someone while still working actively dies or whether that person resigned or was dismissed or retired or terminated, all mean different things in the public service.

“But the end point is that the person is no longer working.

“I want us to put things in perspective.

“Government did not sack anybody.

Onyebuchi Chukwu is a fraudster and a thief who was sacked in 2008 for massive stealing and unprecedented looting of funds.

Believe him at your own peril.

So much confusion everywhere!
Today it is green, tomorrow it is blue.
Yesterday , it was high, today it is low.
The confused state of a giant nation.
Yesterday, I was told to expect heavy rains all day by channels t.v, only for me to get scorched in the sunlight in my hoodie. grin
