That's the hospital of my birth. I was born there. My mother Fed me with good stories of how she was properly taken care of by the staff of the hospital. She would never forget how she and other expectant mothers celebrated the emergence of Ogbonnaya Onu as the governor of the then Abia state while I kicked her navel. I pray the government see the need to return it to the church. They've actually managed it better than any other public health facility in Old Ohaozara.

Will government manage t better than previous management?

If a land lease agreement between a community and a private establishment have expired, is government's taking over of the land and the entire property and investment concerns put on it the only or the best solution? It is purely a private matter between two private parties to an agreement which dispute can only be settled in a civil court through an action by one of the aggrieved parties.

It is curious when the State Government is even speaking from both sides of the mouth. In one breath, you said the community donated the land to the Church of Scotland Mission in 1911; which means it was a gift, in another breath you claimed the community leased the land to them for 100 years; which means it was a well-documented contractual transaction. Which one does the government want us to believe?

It is laughable for Ebonyi Government to say that the land was only leased to the Church of Scotland, not leased to the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria; that the Presbyterian Church only took over the hospital probably because most of the workers were members of the Church when the Church of Scotland was leaving. Imagine such a laughable story from a Government!

So it is possible that a group of people can just take over a property or an establishment belonging to an organization simply because they constitute a large number amongst its workers, without proper transfer of ownership?! And the Government said the same Church of Scotland kept sending personnel to the Hospital years after it had left Nigeria, even till the 1990's! How can a Government be this self-contradicting?

It is more laughable when Ebonyi Government cited deterioration in quality services as part of its explanation for taking over of the hospital. A private hospital that has kept existing for over a hundred years and still running can least be accused of lack of proper management in Nigeria. How many of Government's property, not to talk of hospitals, of less than 20 years are still in good existence? It is the choice of citizens to decide never to patronize an entity they deem not offering quality services. It is not a ground for any government to turn that private organization to its own. Government can only play a regulatory role.

Now, every government can now go on to take over private businesses and turn them to state property on a flimsy excuse of lack of quality services. Ebonyi State Government has set an horrible precedence not even witnessed under the worst of military juntas.

It appears the Ebonyi State Government is just labouring to bring up an excuse to justify a take over exercise for no sound reasons. Ebonyi State Government might have privately approached the Presbyterian Church to release the Hospital for it to convert to a University Teaching Hospital and the Church had refused. That might be the reason for this forceful, authoritarian and tyrannical take over and nothing more.

The Ebonyi State's claim that it took over the ownership of the Hospital in order to forestall a breakdown of law and order between the Presbyterian Church and Uburu community is the most comical of it all. It reminds one of the draconian powers exercised by those primitive kings of the olden days. As a selfish excuse to settle a dispute between two men fighting over a girl, the king would step in and take over the beautiful girl as his wife!

The Presbyterian Church Nigeria should assemble a formidable team of brilliant lawyers now to approach the Court of law to reverse this daylight robbery and devious property grabbing by the Ebonyi State Government.

Cmanforall:

GAME
It took 8years to come to this point?
They would have renamed it Uburu General Hospital or something else.
If Ebonyi State University needs a 'Hospital' General or not, the state and the university should build one.
Ebonyi state use to have a teaching hospital in their name, Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital (EBSUTH), what happened to it? They converted the EBSUTH to a Federal Hospital (Federal Teaching Hospital Abakiliki) and now they want to snatch a Mission's Hospital for the University.
What does Ebonyi State University General Hospital mean?
Does it mean the hospital will now be under the management of the Ebonyi State University or under the State ministry of health?
I hope the people inolved in this can see clearly the future confusions they are creating.
If the complain is about the high cost, then government can build a general hospital for the community for cheaper healthcare services. Running an efficient healthcare facility is not easy, and what maybe termed high can be due to the income of the community dwellers.
.. Ebonyi state government is building a world class teaching hospital, which is about 70% completion...Ebonyi state government over the years funded that hospital for years, hence the name Presbyterian Joint Hospital..But the church couldn't manage the hospital well..
Moreso, the agreement between the church and the community is over...

Kudos!
It's high time we started taking our lives back from these religionists.
Well, thanks to the Churchists for the good things they have contributed to us

Keep quiet my friend.
Which useless life do you have to take back.

They have been serving community for the past 100 years before independence. Can you vouch that government will manage it properly in the next 100 years? If the present government leaves, who knows the plan of the next government about health care.

After church of Scotland left in 90s, they were able to manage it for another 20years. What stop government in partnership or build another healthcare close to it.

This country is a joke.
I can bet it, if you visit the hospital, their is possibility they are running generator 24/7 talkless of availability of medication.
Pls you have to stop thinking with your Anus. Nobody investor will ever read about the news and plan to invest in unhealthy environment.

Look at all black countries and you would come to understand why we must question if indeed the racist percentage of the white population was too harsh in saying blacks have inferior brains.
Just look at Nigeria.
Since 1960 everything the whites left for us has deteriorated,power,rails,water supply,lovely towns and cities,honesty, merit and efficiency in government.
Several years back,we even had supermarket chains.
If not for ShopRite,a clearly white owned establishment, supermarket shop experience would only be left for those that travel abroad.
Phones were working,but soon as they left,making calls became almost impossible.
If not for MTN,Airtel started by whites,we would still be lining up kilometres to make a call.Internet service would only have been an Utopian dream.
You are so so right embarassed embarassed

They should hand it over to the Catholic church.

In the East, any thing, be it school or hospital that are not managed by the Catholic church or Church of Nigeria, Anglican communion is a scam.

All other churches there have not proven their capacity and capability to manage anything.

Lawless Country. Let the people settle with the mission hospital management. If they can't settle, then let the hospital destroy it's buildings and the community take back their empty land.
