Director-General of the FCT Hospital Management Board, Dr Mohammed Kawu
The ongoing cold war between the current Director-General of the FCT Hospital Management Board, Dr. Mohammed Kawu and some consultant doctors is gradually reaching a turning point.
Findings revealed that the consultants among the doctors have over the years grumbled over the appointment of Kawu by the former Minister of FCT to headthe Board as Director-General.
According to the aggrieved doctors, the appointment which was brazenly a display of nepotism by the former Minister was also an outright breach of the Act, establishing the Board.
They cited Part III ( 10) of the Act, whichsays, ” the Director General shall hold a post graduate medical fellowship qualification obtained of at least eight years prior to his appointment as Director General.”
Inside sources revealed that Kawu does not have this qualification and therefore an error for him to be heading such a health agency where there are many consultants that have the required qualifications.(Daily Sun)
