Nasarawa: ‘Sack, prosecute them’ – Gov Sule orders over sales of donated items by hospital
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has ordered the dismissal and prosecution of staff members implicated in the sale of medical equipment donated to the General Hospital in Umaisha.
The directive follows allegations concerning the disappearance of various medical supplies at the facility. In a widely shared video, Ibrahim Abdullahi Sa’ad, a member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly representing the Umaisha/Ugya Constituency, accused the hospital management of selling orthopaedic mattresses and fans that he had personally donated for patient use.
Sule condemned the hospital’s actions, describing them as inhumane. Speaking at an event in Lafia, he instructed the Commissioner for Health to conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action against those found responsible.
“I have already asked the Commissioner for Health to investigate, to dismiss and fire them, and after that, to prosecute them,” Sule stated.
