Invite our MD for probe, NANNM asks EFCC

Unread post by Kunle Emmanuel »

The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, Lagos State Chapter, has appealed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to invite the immediate past Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Dr. Ramon Lawal, for probe over alleged financial recklessness while in office.

The NANNM Public Relations Officer, Mr. Adewale Adegbite, who described Lawal as corrupt, said in an email that despite the huge allocation to the hospital, the staff’s welfare was not taken into consideration.

Adegbite added that the nurses had, few weeks after resuming from strike, embarked upon another indefinite strike until their agitation was addressed.

He said, “Dr. Ramon Lawal, the immediate past Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, despite having completed his tenure as the medical director from August, 2011 to August 2015, has been granted yet another tenure. Also, he attained the statutory age of retirement of 60 years on January 3, 2015. He told us that we are not the one that can appoint him as medical director and that he has connection with the presidency, so he must come back for second term.

“He went to Abuja through the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Health, Linus Awute, and he brought a purported letter of recommendation claiming it is a letter of appointment addressed to him personally, not to the director of administration of the hospital. The entire staff of the hospital are tired of his leadership style. Our working condition can’t be desired for animals. There is no light in the hospital premises, vectors are everywhere, there are no stationery or consumables in the wards, prescription papers are no longer available, there is poor drainage system, no water supply.”
