Abia State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Ngozi Okoronkwo, has vehemently denied the rumors circulating about the Abia State Government allegedly sacking all medical doctors. She clarified that these rumors are baseless and unfounded, emphasizing that the government has no intention of terminating the employment of any doctor or healthcare personnel currently working to support the state's healthcare sector.
Dr. Okoronkwo urged both doctors and the general public to disregard these rumors and instead rally behind the government's various initiatives aimed at improving healthcare delivery in the state. She firmly stated that no one has been instructed to submit a "fresh expression of interest," as mentioned in the fake circular.
Furthermore, she highlighted that the individual who supposedly signed the circular, "Dr. Hemuka Rock Biale," is unknown to her or any agency under the health ministry. Dr. Okoronkwo clarified that this person lacks the authority to speak on any official matters pertaining to the ministry without her permission.
Since her appointment during the tenure of Governor Dr. Alex Otti, Dr. Okoronkwo has implemented several pragmatic initiatives to revitalize the health sector in Abia State. As a result, health workers ended their six-month-long strike and promptly resumed work. She also emphasized that the governor has made it a priority to ensure that health workers receive their salaries and entitlements on time, eliminating the long-standing issue of owed payments.
Currently, Dr. Okoronkwo is leading the efforts of the Dr. Otti administration in rebuilding dilapidated healthcare facilities throughout the state. Through these collective endeavors, they aim to enhance the overall healthcare infrastructure and services available to the people.
Let us support these initiatives and work together to uplift the healthcare sector in Abia State, thereby ensuring the well-being of all residents.
