FMC Nasarawa sacks two officials over ‘job racketeering’

The management of the Federal Medical Centre in Keffi, Nasarawa state, has dismissed two officials of the hospital over the allegation of job racketeeringSpeaking with journalists on Friday, Yahaya Adamu, chief medical director of the hospital, said some other officials were also suspended for similar offences.

He said the committee, under his chairmanship, had a statutory representative of the federal ministry of health and members of relevant unions, who served as observers.“The investigation was done in the open and having concluded our work, we forwarded our recommendations to the minister since the board of the hospital is yet to be constituted,” NAN quoted Adamu as saying.

“Nine staff were affected and all of them were tried based on their levels of involvement. Only one of them was found not guilty.“So, there was nobody who was guilty that was not punished and those who were suspected to be guilty but for one reason or the other, their cases have not been concluded and were asked to remain until we conclude their matter.

The chief medical director said Peter Dare, one of the dismissed officials was found to be the arrowhead of the job racketeering syndicate.Advertisement
