ABSUTH Denies "Turning To Sen. Orji Kalu To Pay Salary Arrears"


The Board and Management of Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) have denied that they pleaded with the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to pay salary arrears.

A statement made available to IGBERE TV on Thursday by Dr Wokoh Davidson N, Chairman of the Governing Council, ABSUTH said the earlier statement attributed to Dr Okwuonu Chimezie, the State NMA Chairman, does not in any way represent the current state of affairs at the Teaching Hospital.

Dr. Davidson noted that this is coming barely one week after Government commenced the payment of the arrears as earlier promised by the Governor.




The statement reads in parts,


"The Board and Management of the Institution frown seriously at such outlandish calls that has no substance and therefore wish to state as follows:

1. We are not aware of any of such visit to any Senator

2. We did not authorize such statements

3. The Government of Abia State led by Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu PhD has shown genuine interest and is determined to clear the salary arrears - as the first tranche of payment was received recently

4. The Board and Management of ABSUTH are grateful to the State Government and believe in her genuine interest in revitalizing the Hospital."
