The Senate at the plenary on Wednesday summoned the Minister of Health, Prof.

Isaac Adewole, over the poor state of teaching hospitals in the country, demanding accountability on the funds allocated to the health sector by the Federal Government over the years.

While some lawmakers alleged corruption and mismanagement of resources in the health sector, others noted the poor welfare of health workers. They also resolved to “summon the Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, to brief the Senate on the current state of facilities and health care services in Nigeria’s teaching hospitals.”

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who presided over the session, blamed the decay in the country’s health facilities on corruption.
