Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has ordered the immediate arrest of some civil servants who were caught selling materials meant for Primary Health Care Centres and general hospitals in the state.
In a video that has gone viral, the governor was shocked and furious when he discovered that items meant to be distributed for free were being sold by government workers.
The Special Assistant on New Media, Mr. Leo Oketa, explained what happened: “Earlier today, Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru was inspecting projects. While still within the Centenary City premises, he suddenly noticed a vehicle loading materials and asked his convoy to reverse into the State Ministry of Health block.”
“When he checked, he discovered that the vehicle was being loaded with materials meant for Primary Health Care Centres and general hospitals in the state, which were being prepared for illegal sale,” Mr. Oketa added.
This incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for strict action against those involved.
