Investigation Launched Over Missing Hospital Donations
Dr. Edego, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of a hospital in Lafia, Nasarawa State, responded to allegations regarding missing items donated by Hon. Ibrahim Abdullahi Sa’ad, a member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly. He announced the formation of a committee to investigate the matter, with a report expected by August 24, 2026.
Governor Abdullahi Sule has also directed the Commissioner for Health to establish a separate panel to probe the allegations, which include theft, vandalization of government property, and misinformation. Dr. Edego emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, stating they have tarnished the reputation of the Hospitals Management Board staff.
Governor Sule has mandated the dismissal and prosecution of any staff found guilty of involvement in the alleged sale of 50 orthopedic mattresses, 50 ceiling fans, and 40 standing fans that were reportedly donated to the hospital. The situation has sparked widespread reactions, calling for greater accountability in public health management.
