The management of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Keffi, Nasarawa State has sacked two of its staff over job racketeering.
The hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Dr. Yahaya Adamu, disclosed this to journalists on Friday in Keffi.
He said six others were suspended for the same reason.
Adamu said: “When the allegation was reported to the management, it immediately constituted a committee to investigate the matter. The officials who were found wanting were handed over to its Disciplinary Committee on Senior Staff Affairs for further action.
“The investigation was done in the open and having concluded our work we forwarded our recommendations to the minister since the board of the hospital is yet to be constituted.
“The recommendations were modified and a final position was taken over all those accused on job racketeering and others accused of committing other offences.
“Nine staff were affected and all of them were tried based on their levels of involvement. Only one of the affected staff was found not guilty,” he said.
“So, nobody who was guilty was not punished and those suspected to be guilty but for one reason or another their cases have not been concluded were asked to remain until we conclude their matter.
“For anybody to say we allowed some of the accused persons to resume work after these steps that have been taken is unfair.”
