In Benin city, Edo State some interest groups and stakeholders have uncovered the real reason behind the blatant disregard for the welfare of Staff and Patients in the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) . Sources close to the Management, notoriously led by Professor Micheal Okoeguale Ibadin, have informed our reporters that the anarchy and disruption of services sequel to the willful denial of due benefits to staff has been masterminded by the aforementioned chief Executive of the hospital and some PDP chieftains in order to bring the Government of President Mohammadu Buhari as well the HonoUrable Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Folurusho Adewole to Ridicule. This explains the obvious disregard of appeals from the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders to the Management of the hospital to implement Government policies and agreements in the hospital to no avail. Officials at the Ministry of Finance and even the supervisory ministry of health recently revealed that the Management had unilaterally decided against budgeting and even appropriating due benefits for its staff even after the latitude had been provided for the institution. It is even more scandalous that the hospital's Management has been briefed by the Ministries of the availability of more slots for employment into the hospital and the attendant increase in the allocation; the management of the hospital was said to have turned deaf ears to the advice and instead insisted on continual erosion of the staff strength to its current size which unfortunately is the barest minimum that can offer some semblance of service to Innocent Nigerians. It's of note that since the inception of the Buhari Administration, the hospital Management has grown increasingly hostile to unions in the hospital with the their demands for better welfare of their members regarded as "waste of Time" by the management with the resultant increase in rife in the institution. Recently, the Chief Executive Prof M.O Ibadin barred Union Executives from Seeking Audience with him all in a bid to create an atmosphere of animosity and mutual suspicion. These set of events may not be unconnected with the huge sums of Hospital Funds reportedly committed to the last General Elections in order to Perpetrate the then "Status Quo.” While boasting that his Godfather is Chief Tony Anenih who is also his Uromi Kinsman, Ibadin said he is untouchable as he has the whole of PDP behind him including the support of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu. Ibadin has even been quoted saying at different Fora that " You know this is not our Government, so anything you see take it". The hospital Management had earlier led a campaign of calumny against the present federal Government accusing it of favouring some Federal Hospitals while depriving others like UBTH. This was supposedly to explain its inability to implement same welfare packages to its staff as obtained in other Federal Tertiary Health Institutions.. It is saddening that because of Partisan Politics and in a desperate bid to undermine the Government of Change, some individuals in position of Authority have been toying with lives of Nigerians and have purposely debased the welfare of staff rather than protect and guarantee it. To say therefore that an immediate CHANGE is needed in UBTH is an understatement.

Rubbish.... What will you gain in tarnishing somebody's image. How can he be boasting with PDP and opposition on his side when he knows fully well they have no say in the present government. Try another propaganda abeg. You people can lie for Africa.

What is in this government somebody want jeopardise again when Buhari and his Co travellers have already done so by their selves.

TSA majorly starves the PDP of funds as most of their cronies still hold sway in the mainstream parastatals. If you have not been to Ubth, you would conclude this is propaganda. just wait and see how PDP fund their way back to aso rock
