Well it will interest the poster and the readers that Prof Chukwu (my lecturer btw) on completion of his second tenure as CMD of the defunct EBSUTH was given the appointment of DEPUTY PROVOST OF THE MEDICAL COLLEGE, in a university still owned by the same Ebonyi state govt!

So he wasnt relieved of his duties he completed 2 tenures and was given another honorable office!

emmydeep: 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.

despite the level of degradation, I know d FG would have done its assignment of screening a candidate for such position.
like someone rightly pointed out, pls stop drying ur dirty linens in public.... d entire world can't take us serious.

God bless Nigeria

ephemm: This is pure nonsense!!!

As much I will not support any corrupt practice, I will still say bringing up this issue at this time is "stupid".

Whoever dug this up and is bringing it out at this time is not wise and does not love this nation.

The minister was screened by the senate I guess, why didn't you bring this up then?, We could have stop the thief then.

I guess you tried to blackmail him with this info now and he did not fall for you, or maybe you just sympathize with the "gluttonous" NMA strike action.

You are a mo//ron..... A full blown mor//on!

In as much as we are all against corruption and the betterment of Nigeria, we should be VERY careful the kind of things we say, especially on social media. Whoever is putting you up to this, making you post things like this is pushing you to something terrible. We Nigerians are fond of judging our leaders based on here-says even without personally confirming the news.

Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu was NEVER found responsible for the crime he was "accused" of... In any organization, the head would have to be removed or resign in cases of corruption. If whoever put you up to this was being honest, he would tell you that after he was found innocent, he was called back but he refused to go, HENCE the State Governor picking him as a Ministerial Nominee which he was later appointed as a minister of Health.

If only you can open your eyes and see that this man HAS ACTUALLY DONE A GREAT JOB, far better than most Health Ministers Nigeria has ever had. Most of the Ministers that were appointed together with him are no longer on seat, but he still is.

Unfortunately, NMA still has issues with the Federal Government, but that shouldn't warrant the digging up of this trash. Please ALWAYS get your facts right before you post anything.

And BTW, the recent sack of Resident Doctors WAS NEVER the Minister's doing, he wasn't even aware of this as he was not even around when that happened, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. This is from a VERY reliable source, TRUST ME!! GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Please ask doctors at the said Hospital, whether he was the CMD at the year under discussion and whether he was sacked. It is after then you can come and take side. Also if he has been cleared. It is not yet time to abuse.
Re: Minister Of Health Was Previously Sacked For Fraud by chookudi(m): 11:47am On Aug 20, 2014
Whether he was indicted or not is not the point. The point is must sentiments/ego/pride always dictate our appointments? When the late Dora was being rumoured to be the incoming Health Minister after her NAFDAC days were over, NMA blatantly refused accepting this claiming the post was their birthright. Now their own "son" unfortunately is proving to be their nemesis..In summary, let your track records do the talking!!!

rightym: I see aw few share ur view and de country is progressing.

I don't kn wen we Nigerian will seat and reason for ourselves without being used by our greedy and self centered politicians.

Question: did he just become minister yesterday? Y ve dey not said this b4 now.
Y is it coming out now DAT our hearthles resident doctors are sacked.

Pls sit down a reason and stop being made to reason negatively by politicians.

In summary, your argument is that he is being witch hunted or blackmailed by the sacked doctors or whoever and therefore even if he is guilty, he should be TOLERATED and FORGIVEN because the allegations against him has a political undertone.

Sadly, a lot of Nigerians share your ideology and that is exactly why our leaders will continue to steal with impunity; they know their followers will definitely defend them even with the most ridiculous excuses. Unfortunately these ridiculous excuses do not seem ridiculous to most Nigerians. Several people on this thread have insinuated the same NMA blackmail and the basis of their argument being, "why is it now that they have decided to raise this issue?"

Now my own ideology is simple, a thief is a thief and when a suspect is caught, the ONLY question that should be asked is "did he really steal or not." It shouldn't be the business of the law why the key witness decides to come forward with a statement only now. The political or religious or ethnic or economic reason responsible for the case being resurrected now should be inconsequential and the only thing which matters should be "did he really steal or not; that is how things work in developed nations.. There should be zero tolerance for corruption irrespective of individual affiliations

When Ebola was ravaging West africa just before the world cup why didn't they take proactive measures knowing fully well that Nigeria is the most populous nation in West Africa and our citizens love travelling a lot.

Now they are struggling to contain the Virus when they had all the time in the world to prevent it.

If you say you're a doctor and you're defending him, then I believe you are part of his cabinet and you guys have failed woefully

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.

A simple question..
If it is not possible to excavate & furnish us with accounts of political & non-political office holders since 2008 as you suggest in your post, are you suggesting that the minister should therefore be TOLERATED and FORGIVEN and totally left of the hook (even if he's actually guilty)?

Ofcourse, anyone supporting the truth would be part of his cabinet. If you actually know what you are talking about, then you would know why doctors are still on strike, then know how many percentage of us are actually in support of the strike. Do you think Doctors enjoy being on strike? When we could be out there helping our people. We are under a body, whether we like it or not, we will have to do what they feel is good for us as they represent us. We swore an oath and that is the important thing.
Secondly, that the Federal Government couldn't take measures to ensure that Ebola never came into the country shouldn't come as surprise to you. You know fully well the kind of country we are in, and the protocols and procedures it would take to initiate such. Well, that happened, it is now in the past, and they are doing a very good job to contain it now and are not struggling like you think. Try and be a tad supportive of your government, and not saying they've failed.
